Original Prompt

I need an assignment for multiple meaning words for 7th graders with IEP's who have needs in fluency and comprehension. I need students to read sentences that use a multiple meaning word and choose the correct meaning based on context. I need specially designed instruction which provides visuals showing both meanings and context clues highlighted

This resource focuses on the concept of multiple-meaning words, illustrating how certain words can have different meanings based on context. It provides examples such as 'trunk' (the back of a car and the main stem of a tree) and 'bat' (a baseball bat and a flying mammal). The resource guides students on how to use context clues to determine the correct meaning of words. It includes practice sentences for words like 'light' and 'bark' where students are required to circle meanings and explain their reasoning using context clues. Additionally, it encourages independent application through sentences that utilize multiple-meaning words, culminating in a reflection activity where students create their own sentences and visuals for different meanings.
