Lesson 10: Blood on the River

Find one word from the text that you can’t understand. Write the word. Use context clues to guess the meaning and write your guess down. Check the definition in a dictionary. Put a check next to the definition if you are correct. Fix the definition if you need to add more or change it. Reread the sentence from the book that has the word in it. Write the word in a new sentence.

In our book today, Captain Smith tells Samuel: “Don’t let your anger get the best of you… Learn to channel it, and it will become your strength rather than your weakness.” Describe an event where John Smith kept his anger under control rather than letting it out.
