Vocabulary
Present the new words on the board. Either use
the flashcards or write the words. Present each
word and use it in a sentence. Then ask the
students if they know what the word means. Allow
guessing and finally give the right explanation.
Vocabulary reinforcement
Have the students go over the text and find the words they just
learned. Ask them to read the sentences where they found the
words. If there are still unclear words, explain them.Have the
students copy the words into their notebooks and write their
definitions.
Curriculum:
AI: Students will understand the
general meaning, main ideas, and
sequence of events in the text and use
this knowledge as needed.
AI: Students will identify different text
types and use this knowledge as
needed.
AI: Students will locate relevant
information for a specific purpose
AI: students will use simple information
tools such as a glossary, a simplified
learner’s dictionary, and a table of
contents.
For weaker students: Have them copy the sentence with the
new word into their notebooks, next to the definition they wrote. This will help them remember
the context as well.
For more ideas, go to pages vi and vii in the Yellow Pages section.
