[LIT] teaching context clues

[Linda Crumrine]

Hi Debbie,
Here is part 2 of my initial response.  The vocabulary words were  
underlined in my e-mail, but that did not come through.

Here are the words for each context:
misdirective - grudgingly
nondirective - lumbering
general - gregarious
directive - commotion

Sorry about the confusion,
Linda
