What is a multiple meaning word? It is a word with more than one definition.
For example, the word draft has more than one meaning.
Jaelyn finished the rough draft of her story.
The barn is chilly because there is a draft coming through a hole in the wall.
We had a great time brainstorming lots of multiple meaning words. We put them on a Padlet and used Twitter to invite others to add to it. We got a lot of responses! Here is our Padlet with lots of multiple meaning words.
Look at all the great ideas from students in our class and other classes. Teachers too!
One of the reading groups worked to create some presentations about multiple meaning words on the iPads. They were able to choose any app that we have used so far this year. Here is what they made:
Tessa used Haiku Deck to make a slide show about the multiple meaning word orange.

The English language is amazing! We had a lot of fun thinking of how one word can have more than one meaning. There are hundreds of multiple meaning words. Can you share an example of one below and show the different meanings with two sentences?
