Waves1.0 Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary DevelopmentDenotative and Connotative Meanings Teacher: Sue McCullough-Sanden School: Golden Valley High SchoolContent Area Standard:Waves 4. Waves have characteristic properties that do not depend on the type of wave. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know waves carry energy from one place to another. b. Students know how to identify transverse and longitudinal waves in mechanical media, such as springs and ropes and on the earth (seismic waves). Literacy Standard:1.0 Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary DevelopmentStudents apply their knowledge of word origins to determine the meaning of new words encountered in reading materials and use those words accurately.Vocabulary and Concept Development1.2. Distinguish between the denotative and connotative meanings of words and interpret the connotative power of words.Instructional Objectives- Definition of what isto be taught and learnedStudents identify words from the reading that are new in order to construct their ownvocabulary list to learn. Reading Strategies Stoplight VocabularySelf monitoring vocabulary comprehensionPair readingCurriculum- Lesson ContentIntroduction of waves, their nature, classification, requirements, and sourcesInstructional Delivery- Procedures- Strategies- Students read in pairs, starting on page 684 of the text. Students take turns reading one paragraph at a time out loud. The student that is listening writes down any words stumbled on by the reader or words unknown to him/herself or the reader. - After reading is complete, students review the list of words, circling non-science words and underlining science words. Students star the 15 words they believe are the most important words to include in the class vocabulary list.- The whole class works together to construct a class vocabulary list from the lists the pairs of students composed. A total of 12 words should be agreed upon. Theclass then agrees on methods of study that have helped them learn vocabulary words in the past. The class creates an assignment for learning the vocabulary words and a due date that is agreed upon with the teacher.Evidence/Assessment At the end of the lesson, the students have constructed a 12 word vocabulary class list that they have agreed on and an assignment to help them learn the words.Accommodations- Reading difficultiesThis lesson reveals the reading level of students. Students can choose their own partners, so they are comfortable reading out loud in front of their partners.- Advanced learners- English learnersStudents are encouraged to help each other with words that are unknown to the student reading out loud.
