Middle schoolers receive a handout that lists the five types of context clues. The class divides up into groups of three or four, and each group chooses five unfamiliar words. They write a multiple-choice question for each of their five words. The question must use the word in a sentence, and there must be four answer choices. Groups exchange their questions and try to determine the meanings of the words. Additionally, each group creates a guide to types of context clues that includes a description, and an example of each. They make an electronic presentation, poster, or brochure.
