Definition: To roll or fold up; to wind round; to entwine.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling ‘involving,’ it’s a word that can seem a bit… confusing. The dictionary gives us some interesting pictures, you see – rolling, folding, winding, entwining, quite literally! But “involving” has a slightly different meaning, don't you agree? It doesn’t just mean physically wrapping things up. Think about it this way: “Involving” means to include something, or to be part of it. It's like inviting someone to join in the fun, or adding them to a group. Let’s look at some examples to make it clear: "The game involves teamwork and strategy." (Meaning the game needs you to work together!) “Her story involved lots of adventure!” (Meaning her story had exciting things happening.) “This project involves many different steps.” (Meaning there are several stages to complete). So, while the dictionary gives us a lovely picture of physical wrapping, remember “involving” is all about inclusion and being part of something. Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on?
