UNIT X 184 | UNIT 5 DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Provide additional practice with compound words. Give pairs a list of familiar words including compound words. Ask them to circle the compound words. For example: snowy rainy water school winter raincoat kickball recess snowman umbrella summer lunchtime Amplify Develop vocabulary further with additional compound words. Write the following word parts in two columns on a piece of paper: cross, walk, snow, man, foot, print, skate, board, cow, boy, fire, fly, tea, cup, book, and shelf. Have children match the words to create compound words. Have them discuss the compound words in pairs and draw pictures to show meaning. Instructional Routine: Grammar p. Txxix Grammar in Action: Compound Words • Critical thinking Explain to children that a compound word is a word made when two smaller words are put together. Sometimes, the meanings of the smaller words can be used to figure out the meaning of the compound word, as in doghouse and bathroom. At other times, the meaning of the new word is very different from what the two separate words mean, as in butterfly and catfish. • Use knowledge of base words to decode compound words Hold up a lunchbox and write the word on the board. Say: Lunchbox is a compound word. It is two words put together. What are the two words? Write lunch + box = lunchbox on the board to give children a visual breakdown. • Connect to math Say: Look at the board. What does this look like? Elicit that it looks like a math problem. Prompt children to say the equation: Lunch plus box equals lunchbox. • Communicate ideas Challenge children to think of other compound words they know. Write them on the board. If children need prompting, ask: Where are we right now? Elicit classroom and write it on the board. Elicit the math equation and write it on the board: class + room = classroom. • A • Use knowledge of base words to write compound words Ask children to use critical thinking skills to discover the compound words. Tell them to first read the words in the boxes. Explain that the words in the first box are the first part of the word and the words in the second box are the second part. To provide a visual cue, write on the board: basket + ___ = ______ blue + ___ = ______ rain + ___ = ______ back + ___ = ______ Once children have provided the answers, complete the equations on the board for children to copy. • Form words using a variety of strategies If children have trouble forming the compound words from the base words, tell them to use the pictures as clues. ANSWERS basketball, blueberries, rainbow, backpack • Acquire grade-level vocabulary Use the vocabulary routine for the new words. Ask children to write sentences with the words, illustrate them, and then share them with a classmate. EXPLORE AND LEARN PRACTICE basket blue rain back pack bow berries ball lunch + box = lunchbox meaning: a box for your lunch A Use one word from each box. Write four compound words. A compound word is one word that is made up of two words. Think about the meanings of the little words. This will help you learn the meaning of the compound word.
