2nd Class : What is Contextual Clues??

"Today is the second time we(4RR) went to the Technical Communication class. We're late again.....sorry miss. Today we are just about to begin with the first unit which is Contextual Clues. First and foremost, what is contextual clues? Hard to explain because we're confused too. Miss showed and recited a poem entitled Jabberwocky. This poem is truly recommended by Miss due to the excellent nature of the poem. The poem was based from Alice in Wonderland tale movie. W hen read it, there's a lot that we could'nt digest. But when we were forced to read it again, that is when we're able to understand it a bit. The word of the poem was wonderful and remarkable. Suddenly we felt the pleasure and the excitement. In the end we understood the meaning of contextual clues.

Jabberwocky  by Lewis Carroll

(from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872)

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffing through the tugley wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callosh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were raths borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
