Today – Students will bring “Context Clue – Day 4” (1-20) homework. Students will be placed in groups where they will work together to come to consensus on the best answers for each of the twenty context clue sentences.  We will then compare answers for groups in order to earn points and compete against other groups.  Each student will check his or her original answers for accuracy to see how many of the sixteen were satisfactory answers.

CRT is tomorrow.
