Wednesday’s Plans
• Context Clue Practice
• Students practice taking notes from a video
clip locating important details.
What does the word mean
and how do you know?
• Ants inhabit anthills.
• People inhabit houses and buildings.
• Dinosaurs inhabited the Earth millions of years
ago.
Taking Notes from a Video
We are going to focus on getting the gist from
the video. Since we had an article about the
Underground Railroad and one about Harriet
Tubman, then I am going to take notes about
what I learn about both of those subjects.
**We don’t have to cite word for word from a
video-just the general idea.
