00:06	Hello , readers . It's Miss Bushman . Today we're
00:09	going toe work on a strategy to help us become
00:12	better readers . This strategy helps us figure out the
00:15	meaning of unknown words . It's called using context clues
00:21	when we use the text to figure out unknown words
00:24	were using context clues , Context Clues can be found
00:28	around a word or phrase or even in a picture
00:32	to help us figure out what words mean . For
00:36	example , if I have this sentence in my book
00:39	, I can figure out what it means by looking
00:41	for clues . Sarah felt famished . Her stomach was
00:46	growling , and all she kept thinking about was the
00:48	red lunch bag sitting on the shelf across from her
00:52	. Let's go back to the word famished and use
00:55	context clues . I can see that Sarah Stomach was
01:01	growling and that she was staring at her red lunch
01:03	back . This must mean that famished is hungry or
01:08	starving . Are you ready to try using context clues
01:16	? Today we're gonna practice using clues while reading a
01:19	myth . Have you ever heard of a myth before
01:23	? Myths are made up stories with gods and goddesses
01:27	? I just love myths because they're usually full of
01:30	adventure . We're going to read a myth called The
01:35	Story of Iraq . Knee Toe . Help us learn
01:38	and practice context clues . Let's read the beginning of
01:41	the myth as I read watches . I use clues
01:44	to figure out the meaning of words . The story
01:48	of Iraq , Me a , Rodney said at her
01:51	loom , weaving brilliant threads into wonderful patterns . She
01:55	smiled as she worked and sang a happy little song
01:59	. People in her village and from all over the
02:01	country came to see the beautiful things . This young
02:04	girl wolf Iraq . TNI loved hearing them . Tell
02:08	her how clever she waas , and she very conceded
02:12	I can . With better patterns and even the goddess
02:15	Athena , she boasted to an old woman , Let's
02:21	go back to two words that I didn't know in
02:23	this story . First I see the word loom .
02:27	I'm not sure what this means , but I confined
02:29	clues to help me . I see the word weaving
02:33	and threads in the same sentence , along with the
02:36	word I can figure out that a Loomis some type
02:42	of machine to help someone making weavings using thread .
02:49	Let's now look at another word I didn't know .
02:51	I see the word conceded can you find it ?
02:55	I see the conceded is a word that describes Iraq
02:58	Me . It says that people all over the village
03:01	can see Iraqis , weavings , Arak . Me also
03:04	said that she could spin a better pattern than the
03:08	goddess Athena . It seems like a re acne is
03:13	talking a lot about herself and how great her weavings
03:15	are . I can figure out the conceded means that
03:18	Iraq me is full of herself or she's too proud
03:20	of herself . No , we're going to keep reading
03:26	. As we read , we're going to look for
03:28	clues to define the word scurried . We're also going
03:31	to look for clues to describe the goddess in our
03:34	story named Athena . Hush , Athena may hear you
03:39	, whispered the woman . I don't care , said
03:42	a re acne loudly . Now everyone knew that it
03:46	was very dangerous to talk about the gods and goddesses
03:49	. If they hurt something they didn't like , they
03:51	could play nasty tricks on people . At that moment
03:55	, Athenee appeared in the doorway of Iraq knees house
03:58	Iraqi leaped up from her loom and knelt in front
04:02	of the goddess of weaving , looking proudly up her
04:05	. I think I heard you speak my name ,
04:07	said Athena . I've come to see your weaving .
04:11	She smiled , but her voice was so icy ,
04:13	everyone watching scurried away in fright . Ah , Thena
04:17	looked at the weaving on the loom . Yes ,
04:19	she said , I have to admit it is very
04:22	good . Readers . Can you see the word scurried
04:29	if you can read the context , clues around the
04:33	word scurried to figure out what it means . If
04:40	you guess that scurried means to move quickly , you
04:43	were right . Let's finish the story to see what
04:47	happens to Athena and Iraq knee . Could you do
04:53	better ? Asked Iraq me boldly . We shall see
04:58	, answered Athena . We will have a competition ,
05:01	you and I , and then we shall see Athena
05:04	in Iraq . Me set to work at their looms
05:06	, weaving for days . They used the brightest threads
05:09	and most unusual patterns . At last , the two
05:12	pieces were finished . They took them off the looms
05:15	and laid them down , side by side . Everyone
05:18	came to admire them and try to decide which was
05:21	best . Athena stared at the two lovely pieces of
05:26	weaving in silence . Then she screamed with rage .
05:29	Although she would never admit it , she could see
05:31	that Iraqis weaving was better than her own . She
05:35	grabbed it and ripped it from top to bottom .
05:38	As you are so clever at weaving , she screamed
05:40	at the terrified Iraq Me , you shall leave forever
05:43	and no one will ever want what you leave .
05:47	She tapped her acne lightly on her shoulder . The
05:50	girl dropped to the ground as everyone watched in horror
05:54	. She shriveled to a small dark blob , grew
05:56	eight legs and ran away into a dark corner .
05:59	Ah , Thenia turned Iraq me into a spider .
06:02	From that moment on , Iraq knee and all her
06:04	many descendants have woven beautiful webs . You may see
06:08	them industy corners or sparkling with dew in the early
06:11	morning . Wow , I can't believe what happened to
06:17	Iraq . Me looking at Iraq knees name . We
06:20	can then see that other words in our language have
06:23	formed because of her name . I look at the
06:26	word Iraq Ned , which looks like Iraq . Me
06:29	and Iraq needed is an insect related to a spider
06:34	. By knowing the word Iraq me , I can
06:37	then figure out the meeting of other words
