 Multiple Meaning Word Activity

Multiple Choice: Rest

Note: You may choose to have students hold up one or two fingers to

indicate which image shows the meaning being described, or have a

student walk up to the poster and point to the image being described.

1. [Show Poster 4M (Rest).] In the read-aloud Medio Pollito said, “[After
   I am in Madrid,] perhaps I will invite the rest of you to pay me a short
   visit.” Here, rest means the people or things that are left. Which
   picture shows this?


2. Rest also means something else. Rest means to sleep or take a
   break. Which picture shows this?


3. Now that we have gone over two different meanings for rest, quiz your
   partner on these different meanings. Use complete sentences. For
   example, you could say, “It is important to get enough rest at night.”
   And your partner would respond, “That’s number 2.”

 Syntactic Awareness Activity

Creating Compound Sentences Using so

Note: The purpose of these syntactic activities is to help students

understand the direct connection between grammatical structures

and the meaning of text. These syntactic activities should be used in

conjunction with the complex text presented in the read-alouds. There

may be variations in the sentences created by your class. Allow for these

variations and restate students’ sentences so that they are grammatical.

If necessary, have students repeat the sentence after you.

Directions: Today we are going to make sentences using the word so.

1. We can connect two sentences with the word so to show reason and
   result.


2. What is special about the main character in today’s folktale? (The
   main character has only one wing, one leg, and one eye.)
   What is he called? (He is called Medio Pollito.)
