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

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

1. [Show Poster 3M (Head).] In the read-aloud you heard, “If I asked you
   what was under Abraham Lincoln’s hat, you might laugh and say, ‘His
   head, of course!’” Here head means the part of the body containing
   the brain and face. Which picture shows this?


2. Head also means other things. Head means to go in a specific
   direction—or to go a certain way. Which picture shows someone or
   something going in a specific direction?


3. Head also means the leader of a group of people or an organization,
   such as the government. Which picture shows this?


4. Now that we have gone over the different meanings for head, quiz
   your partner on these different meanings. Try to use complete
   sentences. For example, you could say, “I would like to be the head of
   the art club one day.” And your partner should respond, “That’s ‘1.’”
