Determine the Meaning of Words and Phrases

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Work on using context clues in your social studies class. Pupils read a brief selection about the terrain in Senegal and define each of the underlined words in the space provided. They also list the context clues that helped them determine the meanings of those words. The worksheet is an interactive PDF, so learners can chose to type their responses in the form, or write them on a printed-out version.
