Multiple Meaning Words are words that have several meanings depending upon how they are used in a sentence. We use CONTEXT CLUES to help us figure out which meaning is correct.
1. Choose a multiple meaning word.
2. Look up the multiple meanings (as well as the part of speech) of the word.
3. Create a poster displaying the various meanings of your word.
4. Write a short paragraph depicting your understanding of the various meanings of the word
