Review.

Typically, the RICA Review will address concepts that were either introduced in a previous class or in the assigned readings.

We will go over the answers in class in order to confirm your developing understandings.

If you think you have 100%, give it to Ann, Danielle or Kelsee to correct.

If you do have 100%, you can select a book from the book box.

Word Maps

Word maps provide a framework for organizing conceptual information in the process of defining a word.

Word Maps

What’s it like? What is the definition?

A confusing and difficult problem or question

What are some examples?

• multiple meaning words• figures of speech• homophones

What does it look like?

62% suffixes are common inflectional endings: -s, -es, -ed, -ing

29% are derivational endings: -able, -ible, -ness, -ly

CCSS: L.K.4b, L.1.4b and 4c, L.2.4b and 4c, L.3.4b and 4c, L.4.4b, L.5.4b and L.6.4b

Word Theater With your partner, decide who will be

the actor and who will be the “guesser” for Round One.

Guessers, turn your backs to the teacher. Actors, face your partner and the teacher.

Word Theater The teacher will show a list of 3 words

from the story to the actors.

Actors will act out each word on the list. You may use gestures and body language, but no talking.

As soon as your partner guesses the word, act out the next.

Word Theater When your partner has guessed all 3

words, you can enjoy watching the others finish.

Semantic Feature Analysis

Select a category familiar to the students.

The teacher provides words that name concepts or objects related to the category.

The teacher decides which features (traits, characteristics) are to be explored.

Semantic Feature Analysis

Students are guided through the feature matrix to decide whether or not a particular item possesses each of the features.

Students may generate new words to add to the chart, followed by new features to be analyzed.

Students complete the expanded matrix.
