Clarify

=Clarify=

Clarifying is a way of reflecting. To make something clearer: to make something clearer by explaining it in greater detail. Ask yourself, did you understand it? Can you explain it?

Example: How can you clarify the word **dejectedly** from this sentence? After the bully took his money, he walked away dejectedly. Using context clues, you can probably figure out the meaning of the word and the sentence.

Activity: 1. Create a sentence using a challenging word that has to be clarified. Then clarify someone else's word. 2. Retype a sentence or two from your book in our discussion group. What does it mean? Tell how you clarified it. Did you use your experiences, ask a teacher, or discuss with a friend what it meant?
