chapter 5 & 6
How can we use the six steps to effective vocabulary instruction while creating academic vocabulary lists that are used by students cross-curricular? We must keep in mind that our definitions must be somewhat consistent when we introduce the vocabulary, students must be able to re-define while keeping an accurate meaning, a picture represenation and have opportunities to re-visit their vocabulary and discuss with other students. While each is something we can all do, how does this approach fit the curriculum crunch, are there pieces or parts that would benefit students if we can not complete all six steps?
