teacher assistance

use
a picture dictionary to find words 90 percent of the time and
without teacher assistance
Whole Class instruction:
Day One: On the first day I will go over the new vocabulary
words. I will talk about words and their meanings. I will then
have the students come up with words that name actions, directions,
and positions. During this lecture I will ask the students what
they would do if they came to a word they did not know. We would
then discuss what a picture dictionary is and how to use it.
I will bring a picture dictionary to the front of the class
and have the students watch as I verbalize how I am using the
dictionary to find the word.
Once the lecture is complete
we will move on to seatwork. I will tell the students they have
3 layers of work to complete. Each layer has different activities
they may choose from as long as they complete enough of the
assignments to reach the specified amount of points. They can
not move on to the next layer until they have completed the
amount of points required.
