Understand March
Hint for students
March can mean to walk with steady, regular steps, often in a group. It can also be the month March, so context matters.
Common mix-up
March is not always the month. In a sentence about a parade, soldiers, or steady steps, march means to walk in a regular way.
Try it in class or at home
Write one sentence that shows march without using the word march. Model sentence: The scouts stepped forward in even rows behind the drums. Clue words: stepped forward, even rows, drums. Now try your own sentence. Ask: Does my sentence show steady, regular walking or the month clearly?
Teacher prompt
Ask students to explain this model sentence: "The band began to march in straight rows during the parade." Why does march fit better than wander?
