Txxiii Vocabulary in Context • Preview vocabulary Remind students of the vocabulary strategies they have learned, such as Use Visuals, Word Web, and Personalize Vocabulary. Have students preview new vocabulary by pointing out the terms and matching images. Ask: Which of these words do you know? Have volunteers share their responses. • Use illustrations to clarify meaning Have volunteers read the example sentences and discuss the images to aid comprehension. Ask: How can the sentences and pictures help you understand new words? Use the vocabulary routine to teach any unfamiliar words. • Classify vocabulary Write the vocabulary words on the board. Then create a three-column chart with headings nouns, verbs, and nouns and verbs. Direct students’ attention to the term educate/education. Read the example sentence aloud. Ask: Which of these words is a noun? (education) Which of these words is a verb? (educate) Read aloud the other terms and elicit the part of speech of each one in the context of the sample sentence. (They are all nouns.) Call on volunteers to write them in the correct column on the chart. Ask: Which of these words can we use as nouns and verbs? (honor, stamp, experiment) Call on volunteers to write them in the nouns and verb column and use each term as a verb in a sentence. Ask: Which other word changes to become a verb? (govern). • Play a vocabulary game Review the new vocabulary as a class. Divide students into pairs with mixed proficiency and give each pair a set of blank cards. Read a definition of a vocabulary word to the class without using the actual vocabulary word. Say: ____ is a list of directions about how to cook something. (recipe) Direct pairs to work together to figure out what the vocabulary word is and to write it on the blank card and hold the card up. Guide the class to agree on the word for each meaning, and also write the word and definition on their blank cards. Continue until the class has made a set of cards for all the vocabulary words on the page. • Use vocabulary Have students work with their partner to add a sentence to each of their vocabulary cards. Have pairs join another pair to take turns to read aloud their sentences for each word. Call on volunteers to share their sentences with the class.
