1. The teacher will post a word compost of 45 letters and will ask the students about the meaning
of the word. The student will try to divide the words into parts to better understand its meaning.
After that had given their guesses, the teaching will post again a sentence using the word with 45
letters and will ask again the students of what could be the meaning based on how it was used in
the sentence.

C. Presentation of the lesson

Class, our lesson for today is “Context Clues”.

D. Lesson Proper
The teacher will discuss Context Clues and its types.

Context clues - are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual word. The clue may
appear within the same sentence as the word to which it refers, or it may follow in a preceding sentence.

The five types of context clues are:

1. Definition/Explanation Clues
Sometimes a word's or phrase's meaning is explained immediately after its use.

2. Restatement/Synonym Clues
Sometimes a hard word or phrase is said in a simple way.

3. Contrast/Antonym Clues
Sometimes a word or phrase is clarified by the presentation of the opposite meaning somewhere
close to its use. Look for signal words when applying context clues.

4. Inference/General Context Clues

Sometimes a word or phrase is not immediately clarified within the same sentence. Relationships,
which are not directly apparent, are inferred or implied. The reader must look for clues within,
before, and after the sentence in which the word is used.

5. Punctuation

E. Application:
The students will be divided into four and the group’s representative will come in front to draw
lots for the pictures to be used. From those pictures, the students will write at three sentences
based on the context portrayed in the picture.
