  2. What can we do to get past a word we don’t know?

  3. List at least three ideas in your notes!

  4. Sometimes we need to make sense of a word before we move on!

  5. One way we can do that is with…

  6. SAGE:

  7. Synonym • A word having the same or similar meaning.

  8. The haughty salesclerk was snobbish and did not offer us any help.

  9. We tethered the boat to the dock, tying it with ropes before and after our trip.

  10. Antonym • A word having the opposite or opposing meaning.

  11. Instead of laughing and having fun at the party, John was very austere.

  12. We expected her to be confident and forward with the crowd, but instead she cowered in the corner.

  13. Gist • Hinting around or guessing based on logic and context.

  14. It is hard to understand how callous some people can be who ride in their limousines past hoards of beggars in India and not pay them the slightest attention.

  15. A dearth of rain last summer led to many failed crops, especially corn and cotton in the valley.

  16. Explanation • Providing details, facts, information that relates or explains.

  17. He did not come out and tell her she was beautiful, but hinted at it. His compliments were very oblique because he was embarrassed.

  18. We knew that our dog might die soon. The vet said to keep our hopes up, but the chances of our beagle, Spot, surviving looked bleak.

  19. SAGE • When faced with an unknown or difficult word use the four steps of SAGE to find the meaning and gain a better understanding.

  20. Final Step • Think of a word that you use at home or with friends that most other people don’t know. • Write the word, then put it in a sentence where the reader could use S, A, G, or E to decipher the meaning.
