How to teach Multiple Meaning Words
Using this L.5.3 Fifth Grade Common Core Lesson, students expand, combine, and reduce sentences for meaning, reader/listener interest, and style.
Being able to tailor your writing depending on your audience is an important writing skill for your students. This lesson will help your students practice expanding and reducing sentences based on audience needs in a fun and engaging way.
Place the mini-tweet cards on each person’s tweeter page. Read a tweet from each person. Each tweet must either be expanded with more details or reduced by combining and rewriting sentences. The hash tag (#) at the end of the tweet will instruct you to either expand or reduce the tweet. Remember, tweets must be short, to the point, and most importantly, interesting to the reader! Write down the updated tweets you have written by re-tweeting them on the recording sheet. #Fun #Language Arts
