1. I want to provide students with background knowledge that will
enhance their understanding of the unit.

the right words, which will help them on standardized testing |
| |

|
4. Objectives-
|
| This is part of a new push aimed at helping our children improve
their MAP-testing scores. By improving their vocabulary and their
test-taking scales, we hope to raise their scores. |
| |
|
5. Materials and Aids-
|
| Students will need their books,writing utensils and paper. I'll
use their overhead to broadcast the definitions they write. |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| I will ask the students what "framers" means. I would be that most
of the them respond with someone who builds picture frames or window
frames. In our context, however, we're talking about the writing of
the Constitution. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| I will break the students down in to groups and assign them a word
group to define. I will demonstrate with the first word on the list
on the big-screen. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| The students will be broken down into groups to define their words.
They will then help the class define those words. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
| Students will be responsible for filling out the list as others
tell them the words so that they are prepared for the vocabulary portion
of Friday's quiz. |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| In order to help students who may not verbally process the definitions
the students are reading aloud, I will type along so that they can
be seen on the big-screen. |
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
| Students will have a vocabulary quiz on Friday. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
| I will close by reminding students about the quiz and talking about
the words we will be using tomorrow. |
