Lesson 10: The Mostly True Adventures of Homer P. Figg

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.

At the end of Chapter 13, Mrs. Bean says to Homer, “Never thought a boy could be good and a liar, too. But you are.” Think about the opinion piece you wrote about doing what’s right when it comes to lying and telling the truth. Do you agree with Mrs. Bean? Why or why not? Give reasons and evidence to support your opinion.
