  7. Word Analysis • Use context clues to help you figure out what a word means.

  8. Idioms • A phrase or expression that has an accepted meaning outside the literal meaning of words. • For example, when we say a job is “a piece of cake” we mean it can be done easily. It doesn’t have anything to do with cake.

  9. Idioms • In the story “Play Ball” I read that a great player has “a style that stands out”. • What does “stands out” mean here? Does it have anything to do with standing? • It means the style is better than or different from that of other players.

  10. Read As we read Satchel Paige, be on the look out for idioms. Give me a thumbs up when you think you hear one in the reading.

  11. Sequence In literary nonfiction authors usually tell about real people’s lives using sequence, or by arranging events in time order.

  12. Sequence Lets look at “A Special League” on page 113. What dates do you see on this page? Are they listed in order? Why does the author include these dates? What other literary language helps you understand this sequence?

  13. Sequence Our story this week is a biography. They are usually told in sequence because that is how life unfolds.

  14. Let’s Read We are going to read “Play Ball”. One way we can understand words we don’t know is to use the antonym of the word to help us. With your partner, read Play Ball.

  22. SatchelPaige On page 121 the crowd tells Satchel to “give it to ‘em Satchel, show your stuff.” Does Satchel have any stuff with him on the mound ? What do you think that idiom means?

  23. Satchel Paige Cause and Effect: Remember an effect tells what happened and a cause tells why it happened. Reread paragraph 2 on page 123 to understand the cause. What happened before the Negro Leagues were formed?
