The Not So WImpy Teacher creates resources for busy teachers in grades 2-5 who are looking to deliver engaging and meaningful lessons without overwhelm and chaos.
This resource is all about multiple meaning words: what they are and how to define them. I designed this unit to help your students learn what multiple meaning words are—and retain that knowledge. The activities are simple to prep, and should only take about 10 minutes of class time. By the end of the week, your students will be able to confidently define a multiple meaning word at 50 paces!
Students will focus on homographs and homophones.
Our UPDATED third grade grammar lesson on multiple meaning words makes teaching grammar a piece of cake. Grammar is so important for kids to understand, but it can be tough to teach. There are so many rules and exceptions. It’s easy to second-guess yourself. And let’s face it, grammar isn’t always a ton of fun.
But with these UPDATED & IMPROVED lessons, your students can become excellent grammarians in just 10 minutes a day! Each no prep lesson comes complete with a full week of activities, including: a mini-lesson, interactive notebook activity (NOW with answer key), writing, task cards, and an assessment.
We’ve done all the planning and prep for you. Each lesson includes everything you need to teach, practice, and assess the weekly skill. Tricky grammar skills are broken down into bite-sized pieces. All you have to do is print and teach. Plus, all of the activities in this lesson are included in a digital version, too!
