Context Clue Vocabulary Answer Key

This worksheet asks students to read a passage about colonial resistance and use context clues, historical knowledge, and surrounding details to define bolded vocabulary words such as tyranny, parchment, treasonous, and resolute. Students write their own definitions based on evidence from the text. The activity supports vocabulary development while reinforcing historical context and the emotional tone of revolutionary events. This reinforces inferential thinking and improves students’ ability to interpret unfamiliar words in meaningful context.
