Hint for students
An update is new or changed information added to what people already knew. It often helps people stay current.
Common mix-up
Update is not the same as any message. An update adds new information or changes older information.
Try it in class or at home
Write one sentence that shows update without using the word update. Then underline the clue words that show new information, changed plans, or a fresh report. Example: The coach told the team that practice would start thirty minutes later. Clue words: told the team, practice, thirty minutes later Now try your own sentence. Ask: Does my sentence show new or changed information being shared?
Teacher prompt
