Context Clues Task Cards SET # 2 for High School and Middle School

Secondary students will learn how to determine the meaning of unknown words using the surrounding text. This NO PREP product uses the 4 strategies of definition, example,
antonym, and details to guess the definition of the mystery word when reading to help comprehension.

Included:

-- Preview Activity with 4 sample task cards
-- Preview PowerPoint, with sample answers for discussion
--20 Task Cards with a mystery word and a context clue-filled sentence. Print, cut, and go!
-- Answer Key (in two formats)
-- Bonus: What's the Difference Between Details and Examples?

The Preview Activity allows students to try their hand at context clues before the graded assignment. This will be especially useful if task cards are not being used immediately after a Context Clues lesson. The four sample cards work as a review to remind students of the four main strategies (definition, example, antonym, and details) for context clues.The class will use the PowerPoint to check their answers and generate a discussion if they have questions. (This is the same Preview Activity included in Set #1.)
