13. Word Analysis – Shades of Meaning
Sometimes two words have very similar meanings. These
shades of meanings can be understood best by using each
word in context.
A dancing dog is uncommon, but a dancing mouse would
be unique!
Explain the shades of meaning of the words uncommon
and unique.
Try the shades of meaning with mocking and teasing with a
partner in the sentence below.
Her teasing manner sometimes makes me laugh. His
mocking voice sounds mean.
14. Literary Terms – Idioms
An idiom is a phrase or expression that has accepted meaning
outside the literal meanings of the words. For example, when we
say a job is a “piece of cake” we mean the job can be done
easily. The meaning doesn’t have anything to do with cake.
Look at “Play Ball!” on page 115. In the passage it says that a great
player has “a style that stands out.” What does “stands out” mean
here?
Does it have anything to do with standing?
In Satchel Paige the author says, “it would land somewhere in the
middle of next week” when talking about a player hitting a ball.
Discuss and write in your spiral with a partner:
would the ball really end up in the middle of next week?
what does this mean?
15. Vocabulary Skill: Antonyms
Read Play Ball on
page 115 with a
partner.
When reading, you
can use antonyms
to determine the
meanings of words.
Antonyms are words
that have the
opposite meaning
of another word.
If you read a word
you don’t know try
to look for an
antonym or context
clues.
16. Satchel Paige is a
biography. A
biography tells about
a real persons life.
Authors create a third-
