Instructional Procedures

  1. Have the students fill out the middle two columns based on prior knowledge before they open the books. If students are not sure on what the words mean, have them make their best prediction by what it sounds like.
  2. Remind the students that they can use captions for the sentences as well as sentences from the text itself.


Assessment Plan

Scoring guide
Students should make a reasonable attempt to define and illustrate each word. The sentence that the students find may be random since they are not looking for a specific definition sentence.
