00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:08,250
Teacher: Some of them, we're going to go over the meanings because
they are in our part. And the first word here is what, everyone?

00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:13,140
Class and teacher: Elude.
Teacher: Don't write anything down. Pencils down, and read the

00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:18,760
definition and...go
Class and teacher: If you elude someone, you avoid them or escape

00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,290
from them.
Teacher: So if you elude someone, you avoid them or escape from

00:00:24,290 --> 00:00:32,300
them. Read the first example sentence and...go
Class and teacher: The runaway slaves eluded the patrollers who were

00:00:32,300 --> 00:00:39,520
hunting them.
Teacher: Okay, and so they might hide somewhere, go into a barn, go

00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:50,160
into the woods, go into the back of a cart, but they want to avoid
those patrollers that are hunting them down. They eluded them. Read

00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:54,000
the next example.
Class and teacher: The convict...

00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Teacher: Uh-oh, teacher mistake. Raise your hand if you've every
heard a teacher make a mistake. Isn't it pathetic? So let's go back

00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,140
and try it again. Go.
Class and teacher: The convict eluded the police for ten years.

00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:15,470
Teacher: So the convict hid out, stayed away from the police, never
was identified by the police. Eluded the what, everyone?

00:01:15,470 --> 00:01:18,160
Class and teacher: Police.
Teacher: Last example. Go.

00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:23,200
Class and teacher: When playing hide and seek, Jose eluded all of
the other players.

00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,180
Teacher: So was Jose found? Yes or no?
Class: No.

00:01:26,180 --> 00:01:38,980
Teacher: Because to elude is to avoid or escape them. Get ready to
tell me if you would elude. So you are coming to this school, and

00:01:38,980 --> 00:01:47,440
you don't want anybody to notice you, and so you sort of walk down
the halls and when people come you go down another hall. Did he

00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,760
elude people? Yes or no, everyone?
Class: Yes.

00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:59,820
Teacher: Yes, okay. So he's walking down the hall, and he waves to
people. Hi, how you doing, Jose? Hi, Maria. Did he elude people? Yes

00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:01,260
or no?
Class: No.

00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:14,240
Teacher: No. So the principal has called you to the office. I don't
want to go see the principal. I think I'll go to the boys' room. Did

00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,140
he elude the principal? Yes or no?
Class: Yes.

00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:28,610
Teacher: And then the principal comes into the bathroom and says...
Did he elude the principal at that moment, yes or no?

00:02:28,610 --> 00:02:33,970
Class: No
Teacher: No. Okay and so elude. So this you can see how it might

00:02:33,970 --> 00:02:43,600
have a part of this story. And, two's, I want you to tell your
partner your best guess about how the word elude might be used in

00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:52,830
the story about Harriett Tubman, a slave in a slave state. So tell
your partner how the word elude might be used in the story we're

00:02:52,830 --> 00:03:00,610
going to read.
Student: Elude might be used in the story when Harriett Tubman

00:03:00,610 --> 00:03:07,950
eludes the guards and the slavery.
Teacher: Yes, so the people that want to take her back into slavery,

00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:12,940
she might try to elude them.
Student: How they had...how she helped people escape.

00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:23,860
Teacher: Oh, so it could be used that way. Excellent! Okay, fall
silent. So here's what I heard. First, when she's trying to escape,

00:03:23,860 --> 00:03:29,270
and the patrollers are after her with their hound dogs, she might
try to what, everyone?

00:03:29,270 --> 00:03:32,900
Class and teacher: Elude them.
Teacher: And then you're talking about later in her life when she

00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:38,280
became a part of the Underground Railroad. She might help other
people what?

00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:44,840
Class and teacher: Elude.
Teacher: The people that were looking for them. So I say to myself,

00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:51,290
in my vocabulary book, I'm going to record this word, which is a
what, everyone? A...

00:03:51,290 --> 00:03:54,400
Class and teacher: A verb.
Teacher: And I don't have to copy this. I want to put it in my own

00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:02,160
words and make it shorter. So I might write down something like
elude, and then I'm going to indent under it and maybe say, you

00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:11,870
know, avoid others. Okay, that is one of the meanings of elude. So
in your book you're going to write down the vocabulary term and then

00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:19,680
in your own words the definition. When you've done that, put your
pencil down. I'll be looking at your vocabulary logs. Go.
