Second Reading: vocabulary in Context
After reading the passage to yourself, listen and follow along as the passage is read again aloud. Again, circle any additional words that you don’t know or that you think are important to understanding the passage.
Check your Understanding
1. Pair with another student, share your circled words and discuss the meanings.
Using these words and the underlined and bolded vocabulary from the passage, discuss how the vocabulary affects your understanding of the entire passage. Choose two or three of the words you have examined that you think are significant to understanding the passage you read. Use the words in a sentence or two that explains why these words contribute to your understanding.
2. Shakespeare’s sonnet has three quatrains (sets of four lines) and then ends with two rhyming lines. Each of the three quatrains describes time in a different way. Choose one quatrain and summarize how time is depicted in it.
