 Grammar: Indefinite and Reflexive
Pronouns
 Spelling: Related Words
 Follow and Clarify Directions

Draw Conclusions
When you draw a conclusion, you
form a reasonable opinion about
what you have read. Use what
you know about real life to help
you draw conclusions.
Be sure that there are enough
facts or information in the text
to support your conclusions.
Exaggeration
Exaggeration is something
overstated and made greater
than it actually is. An author can
use exaggeration to emphasize a
point for either serious or comic
effect. In Space Cadets,
exaggeration is mostly used for
comedic effect.
Exaggeration
Exaggeration does not often signal
itself. It is up to the reader to
recognize it and infer its purpose.
Understatement is the opposite of
exaggeration, or hyperbole.
Unlike exaggeration, it is done
almost exclusively for humorous
or satiric effect.
Context Clues
You may come across a word that
has more than one meaning when
reading.
In this case, you will have to look
for context clues to determine
the correct meaning of the word.
Context Clues
Identify words with multiple
meanings in Space Cadets.
Complete the chart listing the
different meanings of the word,
any useful context clues, and a
definition that fits the context of
the sentence.
Check your definitions in a
dictionary.

people to visualize what to do in
each step.
Diagrams are drawings that show
how something is put together.
Follow and Clarify Directions
They are visual aids that make
