Jane and the Magic Commas

What makes this lesson on inferring word meaning so powerful are not only the great gestures, but also the focus on the "magic comma," a comma that separates the unknown word from its definition within the sentence.  Check that out - I just used a magic comma!
Look at this great slide where students practice figuring out the unknown word - they don't have the distraction of the word, but they do a great job of inserting appropriate options.
