Question

What reading strategy did you use to uncover the extra textual clues

Answer 1

Appositive

The idea: Look for the grammatical structure of appositives which can provide a definition, synonym, or example.

• Discrimination, the act of showing bias to one group, can have damaging effects.

• The elderly and handicapped, a vulnerable group of individuals, have laws to protect them from unethical individuals.

Once students identify the context clue, orchestrate activities for students to learn the word so they can use it when speaking and within their writing.
