Go to the Figures pgs. vi - viii and choose one figure that you will use in your instruction. Describe the what, why, and how this figure is important and will be put into your instruction
I will be using semantic mapping on word Wednesdays. I will have students complete maps with partners or alone and then I will have them carousel with each other to present their words. The words will be displayed in the classroom. They will get the words from their own readings. Why I will be using this is because consistently my students demonstrate a weakness with vocabulary and I want to really emphasize vocabulary instruction this that connects with the reading work that they are doing.
