 * Learning Activities:**

A. Let students know that we are going to learn about words today that can have more than one meaning. B. Show students Smartboard document on "Multiple Meanings". Students will be shown that one word can have two or three or even more meanings by looking at pictures of 'bat', 'ring', and 'mouse'. C. Discuss how we can find out all of the meanings of a word. Divide the class into three groups. Each group should assign numbers to each member. Give one group a turned off computer, one group a closed dictionary, and one group a turned off iPad. Students will predict which team will be able to look up the multiple meanings of 'trunk' the fastest. When a number is called, that corresponding member should begin looking up the word. Do various word searches in same manner, but with resources open or on. Find words such as 'fly', 'brush', 'paint', 'plant', and 'play'. D. Help students make a list of other multiple-meaning words. Have each student choose a word and illustrate at least two of its meanings.

Evaluate and post students' pictures around the room. Students will also complete "Alike or Different"-a sheet that has a pair of sentences. The students must decide if the underlined words in the sentences have the same meaning or not. They will also write two sentences with the word, 'bark'. The word should have a different meaning in each sentence.
