assess
Use the following rubric and sample student responses to formatively assess students’ ability to understand the Interacting in Meaningful Ways skill: Selecting Language Resources.
Emerging: Are students able to identify one other meaning for one multiple- meaning word and use it in an original sentence or provide an example to create precision?
Student example: The principal takes time to educate new teachers on how to operate the new software. The policeman will investigate the crime.
Expanding: Are students able to identify one other meaning for two multiple- meaning words and use them in an original sentence or provide an example to create precision?
Student example: Her keen sense of awareness kept her safe. The child’s reaction to tasting a lemon for the first time was cute.
Bridging: Are students able to identify one other meaning for two complex multiple-meaning words and use them in an original sentence or provide an example to create precision?
Student example: The announcement that a factory would be opened in town triggered a round of applause. The old factory manufactured cars; the new one will manufacture furniture.
adapt
Help students understand that there may be additional meanings to words. Write the word pose on the board. Say: We have learned that this word means to cause or present . For example The mean dog will pose a threat to anyone walking by. Then display this sentence: Mia did not hold still when she had to pose for a picture. Ask a student to act out the meaning of the word pose in the sentence.
5 Formstudentsintopairs.Appointonestudentthereaderandtheotherthewriter.Distributethe Unknown Word Solver graphic organizer to each student. Have Emerging students work together to find additional meanings for either the word educate (verb) or the word investigate (verb) and use it in an original sentence. Students at the Expanding level can complete their Graphic Organizer for the words awareness (noun) and reaction (noun) and use them in an original sentence. Students at the Bridging level can work on the words trigger (verb) and manufactured (verb) and use them in original sentences as well. Provide dictionaries for student use.
6 As students work, walk around the classroom checking for understanding and answering any questions that may arise. When students are finished, have them share out their responses. Use this opportunity to informally assess student work using the following rubric.
Using Foundational Literacy Skills
Some students may encounter confusion when saying the word access. In African American Vernacular English, the word ask if often pronounced “aks.” If you notice your students confusing the word access during academic discourse, repeat it in the sentences using conventional English.
