Multiple Meaning Word Activity
Multiple Choice: Line

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.- [Show Poster 1M (Line).] In the read-aloud you heard, “Washington
came out of his tent and saw Henry Knox at the head of the line of
men.” Here line means a group of people who are waiting to move
forward. Which picture shows this? - Line can also mean other things. A line is a straight, long mark. Which
picture shows this? - A line is also a row of words across a page. Which picture shows this?
- Now that we have gone over the different meanings for line, quiz your
partner on these different meanings. Try to use complete sentences.
For example, you could say, “The teacher told us to draw a line under
the vowels.” And your partner should respond, “That’s number ‘2.’”
Syntactic Awareness Activity
Prepositions of Movement (toward, away)
Note: There may be variations in the sentences created by your class.
Allow for these variations and restate students’ sentences so that
they are grammatically correct. Have students repeat the corrected
sentence.
[Follow-up with a kinesthetic activity by having students use
movements to show the meaning of a preposition.]
Directions: Today we are going to practice using words that are used to
show relationships between other words. We will practice using these
words—toward and away—to help us describe the direction in which
something is moving.AA Clever General Clever General
