Objective: By the end of class, students will learn homophones, practice them in analogies and demonstrate reading comprehension skills.

DO NOW

In your notebooks, write the following:

HOMOPHONES ARE WORDS THAT SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME BUT ARE SPELLED DIFFERNTLY AND HAVE DIFFERENT MEANINGS.

EXAMPLE: HI / HIGH

1. Complete the homophone worksheet. You may use a dictionary if needed. I will review with you when complete.

2. Then try to complete the analogies on the other side. Remember, you must determine the relationship between the words in order to figure out the answers. Ask for help if you need it!

3. We will read the myth, STRAWBERRIES, and answer the multiple choice questions that follow.

Review answers.

Exit Pass

Why are strawberries shaped like a heart according to the myth we just read? What does it symbolize? (remember this - valentine's day is soon!)
