Before Reading
Present the new words on the board. Have the students
find each of these words in the text and see if they can
figure out the meaning. Then discuss each word, giving
a synonym or a definition via a sentence that explains
the meaning of the word if needed.
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 extract information
from visual data such as a timetable.
AI: Students will identify explicit
opinions and feelings.
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.
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.
