The Makes Sense LANGUAGE LITERACY Strategies feature…
Vocabulary development focus on
WHEN to use the Makes Sense Vocabulary
Strategies• Can apply at the beginning of a lesson to
pre-teach vocabulary• Use during the lesson to facilitate note
taking about important terms
• Use toward the end of the lesson to “anchor” key concepts taught within the context of the lesson
• All can be used as homework assignments (best assigned after the concept was taught during class)
• All are great alternative assessment tools
DO• Teach fewer vocabulary terms (but teach in
a way that results in deep understanding of each term (less is more, depth is more)
• Teach terms necessary to understanding core ideas of lesson as reflected in learning standards
• Teach terms that will be used repeatedly through-out the semester (future success depends on learning these terms now)
DON’T teach or assign terms…
• Just because they have been highlighted in text chapter (italized, boldface print, etc.)
• Just because they appear in a list at the end of the chapter in the study guide
• That will have little utility once the student has passed the test
• That reflect large quantities of terms
• That the student will rarely encounter again
