| 00:06 | Hello , readers . It's Miss Bushman . Today we're | |
| 00:09 | going toe work on a strategy to help us become | |
| 00:12 | better readers . This strategy helps us figure out the | |
| 00:15 | meaning of unknown words . It's called using context clues | |
| 00:21 | when we use the text to figure out unknown words | |
| 00:24 | were using context clues , Context Clues can be found | |
| 00:28 | around a word or phrase or even in a picture | |
| 00:32 | to help us figure out what words mean . For | |
| 00:36 | example , if I have this sentence in my book | |
| 00:39 | , I can figure out what it means by looking | |
| 00:41 | for clues . Sarah felt famished . Her stomach was | |
| 00:46 | growling , and all she kept thinking about was the | |
| 00:48 | red lunch bag sitting on the shelf across from her | |
| 00:52 | . Let's go back to the word famished and use | |
| 00:55 | context clues . I can see that Sarah Stomach was | |
| 01:01 | growling and that she was staring at her red lunch | |
| 01:03 | back . This must mean that famished is hungry or | |
| 01:08 | starving . Are you ready to try using context clues | |
| 01:16 | ? Today we're gonna practice using clues while reading a | |
| 01:19 | myth . Have you ever heard of a myth before | |
| 01:23 | ? Myths are made up stories with gods and goddesses | |
| 01:27 | ? I just love myths because they're usually full of | |
| 01:30 | adventure . We're going to read a myth called The | |
| 01:35 | Story of Iraq . Knee Toe . Help us learn | |
| 01:38 | and practice context clues . Let's read the beginning of | |
| 01:41 | the myth as I read watches . I use clues | |
| 01:44 | to figure out the meaning of words . The story | |
| 01:48 | of Iraq , Me a , Rodney said at her | |
| 01:51 | loom , weaving brilliant threads into wonderful patterns . She | |
| 01:55 | smiled as she worked and sang a happy little song | |
| 01:59 | . People in her village and from all over the | |
| 02:01 | country came to see the beautiful things . This young | |
| 02:04 | girl wolf Iraq . TNI loved hearing them . Tell | |
| 02:08 | her how clever she waas , and she very conceded | |
| 02:12 | I can . With better patterns and even the goddess | |
| 02:15 | Athena , she boasted to an old woman , Let's | |
| 02:21 | go back to two words that I didn't know in | |
| 02:23 | this story . First I see the word loom . | |
| 02:27 | I'm not sure what this means , but I confined | |
| 02:29 | clues to help me . I see the word weaving | |
| 02:33 | and threads in the same sentence , along with the | |
| 02:36 | word I can figure out that a Loomis some type | |
| 02:42 | of machine to help someone making weavings using thread . | |
| 02:49 | Let's now look at another word I didn't know . | |
| 02:51 | I see the word conceded can you find it ? | |
| 02:55 | I see the conceded is a word that describes Iraq | |
| 02:58 | Me . It says that people all over the village | |
| 03:01 | can see Iraqis , weavings , Arak . Me also | |
| 03:04 | said that she could spin a better pattern than the | |
| 03:08 | goddess Athena . It seems like a re acne is | |
| 03:13 | talking a lot about herself and how great her weavings | |
| 03:15 | are . I can figure out the conceded means that | |
| 03:18 | Iraq me is full of herself or she's too proud | |
| 03:20 | of herself . No , we're going to keep reading | |
| 03:26 | . As we read , we're going to look for | |
| 03:28 | clues to define the word scurried . We're also going | |
| 03:31 | to look for clues to describe the goddess in our | |
| 03:34 | story named Athena . Hush , Athena may hear you | |
| 03:39 | , whispered the woman . I don't care , said | |
| 03:42 | a re acne loudly . Now everyone knew that it | |
| 03:46 | was very dangerous to talk about the gods and goddesses | |
| 03:49 | . If they hurt something they didn't like , they | |
| 03:51 | could play nasty tricks on people . At that moment | |
| 03:55 | , Athenee appeared in the doorway of Iraq knees house | |
| 03:58 | Iraqi leaped up from her loom and knelt in front | |
| 04:02 | of the goddess of weaving , looking proudly up her | |
| 04:05 | . I think I heard you speak my name , | |
| 04:07 | said Athena . I've come to see your weaving . | |
| 04:11 | She smiled , but her voice was so icy , | |
| 04:13 | everyone watching scurried away in fright . Ah , Thena | |
| 04:17 | looked at the weaving on the loom . Yes , | |
| 04:19 | she said , I have to admit it is very | |
| 04:22 | good . Readers . Can you see the word scurried | |
| 04:29 | if you can read the context , clues around the | |
| 04:33 | word scurried to figure out what it means . If | |
| 04:40 | you guess that scurried means to move quickly , you | |
| 04:43 | were right . Let's finish the story to see what | |
| 04:47 | happens to Athena and Iraq knee . Could you do | |
| 04:53 | better ? Asked Iraq me boldly . We shall see | |
| 04:58 | , answered Athena . We will have a competition , | |
| 05:01 | you and I , and then we shall see Athena | |
| 05:04 | in Iraq . Me set to work at their looms | |
| 05:06 | , weaving for days . They used the brightest threads | |
| 05:09 | and most unusual patterns . At last , the two | |
| 05:12 | pieces were finished . They took them off the looms | |
| 05:15 | and laid them down , side by side . Everyone | |
| 05:18 | came to admire them and try to decide which was | |
| 05:21 | best . Athena stared at the two lovely pieces of | |
| 05:26 | weaving in silence . Then she screamed with rage . | |
| 05:29 | Although she would never admit it , she could see | |
| 05:31 | that Iraqis weaving was better than her own . She | |
| 05:35 | grabbed it and ripped it from top to bottom . | |
| 05:38 | As you are so clever at weaving , she screamed | |
| 05:40 | at the terrified Iraq Me , you shall leave forever | |
| 05:43 | and no one will ever want what you leave . | |
| 05:47 | She tapped her acne lightly on her shoulder . The | |
| 05:50 | girl dropped to the ground as everyone watched in horror | |
| 05:54 | . She shriveled to a small dark blob , grew | |
| 05:56 | eight legs and ran away into a dark corner . | |
| 05:59 | Ah , Thenia turned Iraq me into a spider . | |
| 06:02 | From that moment on , Iraq knee and all her | |
| 06:04 | many descendants have woven beautiful webs . You may see | |
| 06:08 | them industy corners or sparkling with dew in the early | |
| 06:11 | morning . Wow , I can't believe what happened to | |
| 06:17 | Iraq . Me looking at Iraq knees name . We | |
| 06:20 | can then see that other words in our language have | |
| 06:23 | formed because of her name . I look at the | |
| 06:26 | word Iraq Ned , which looks like Iraq . Me | |
| 06:29 | and Iraq needed is an insect related to a spider | |
| 06:34 | . By knowing the word Iraq me , I can | |
| 06:37 | then figure out the meeting of other words |
