Teacher Lesson Plan Activity: Charting Out a Content Specific Lesson Focus on academic vocabulary · The standards call for students to grow their vocabularies through a mix of conversation, direct instruction, and reading. · Vocabulary and conventions are treated in their own strand not because skills in these areas should be handled in isolation, but because their use extends across reading, writing, speaking, and listening. |
