"One of the most crucial services that teachers can provide, particularly for students who do not come from academically advantaged backgrounds, is systematic instruction in important academic terms".

(Marzano & Pickering, 2005)

Vocabulary RecognitionActivity –US Government and Politics (blue paper)

1. Individual: Skim the reading; Circle the unfamiliar words2. Small Group: Create a list on the white board at each table3. Large Group: Combine the white boards and review the terms

Options:• Students respond if they “Know It,”“Heard It,” or “Have No Idea”• Students respond “What”, “So What”, “Have No Idea”

• “What” (the students write what they think the word is),• “So What” (the students write about the relationship of the word

to the topic)• “Now What” (the students use the word in a newly created

sentence.• Sample Activities

Page 20: I’m NOT a reading teacher; I’M A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER! Lisa Hardwig Justin Reese Heidi Trexler

SAMPLE ACTIVITIES1. Categorize the terms (clusters); title each cluster2. Compare the terms to other terms (prior knowledge)

that are similar or different to what you already know3. Describe it; Don’t define it4. Create a mental picture of one of the terms;

describe/draw the mental picture5. Create a sentence/paragraph/summary using the new

words6. Create a “status post” using one of the new words to

start a conversation7. Create a “text message” using one of the words;

attempting to start a conversation

Cloze Activities

• Quote by Patrick Henry “Give me liberty or give me……..”

• Goal is to practice meaning, context, and previous knowledge.

Page 24: I’m NOT a reading teacher; I’M A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER! Lisa Hardwig Justin Reese Heidi Trexler

Marzano‘s Design Question #3: What will I do to help students practice and deepen their

understanding of new knowledge?Focuses on Skills, Strategies, and Processes

When the content involves a skill, strategy, or process, the teacher engages students in practice activities that help them develop fluency.

What are teachers & students doing? Teacher Evidence • engages students in massed & distributed practice activities as well as

guided & independent practice appropriate to their ability to execute a skill, strategy, or process

Student Evidence • performs the skill, strategy, or process with increased confidence &

competence

Page 25: I’m NOT a reading teacher; I’M A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER! Lisa Hardwig Justin Reese Heidi Trexler

Cloze Activities

• Select a key passage• Remove a key vocabulary word from the

passage. Make sure there are enough clues in the passage that students can determine the missing word.

• Distribute the passage to each student or group of --------.Have the students read the passage and determine the missing words.

Page 26: I’m NOT a reading teacher; I’M A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER! Lisa Hardwig Justin Reese Heidi Trexler

Cloze Activities

• Discuss with students how they were able to determine the missing words. Point out that they used context clues. List the context clues that the students used.

• Have the students read the passage verifying their choices.

• Students then could define the vocabulary terms if necessary.

What is still puzzling?

Page 32: I’m NOT a reading teacher; I’M A SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER! Lisa Hardwig Justin Reese Heidi Trexler

Consequences of reading difficulties: an ever widening gap

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th

The gap increases in both depth and

breadth

Each year skills and knowledge required to meet standards increases

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th

Must learn to recognize many new words accurately and automatically

Must acquire many new vocabulary words

Must learn to deal with longer sentences and more complex ideas

Must be able to draw upon more extensive background knowledge
