Writing Sentences Using Context Clues – Unit 1
Instructions:
1. Use the word bank below to choose five words from Unit 1.
2. Write five complete sentences using one word from Unit 1 in each
sentence.
3. Be sure to use your word correctly regarding the part of speech.
4. Each sentence should have at least three strong context clues showing
me that you understand the meaning of your word.
For example:
To avoid the children in the street, the truck veered sharply to the right and
sideswiped several parked cards.
The words in italics are context clues that show your reader that you
understand the meaning of the word “veer”.
Please write each sentence clearly and underline your vocabulary word. If you’d
like to include extra vocabulary words (only 1 per sentence), you may do so for
extra credit. However, you must use these words correctly regarding the part of
speech and also include context clues.
Each sentence is worth 2 points!
If you are turning in an extra credit vocab word that you found in context in a
book or magazine, please staple it to this paper. Good luck!  Ms. D
