  6. Differentiation "Teaching school is like teaching swimming lessons. You have a couple of students that you can send off to the deep end and they will probably be okay by themselves. There are a bunch of kids in the middle who you can teach something new to and then they can go off and practice. But there are a few kids who if you take your eye off of for even a minute, they will drown.” (5th grader)

  7. Vocabulary Acquisition As children get older, they still acquire language orally, but now the emphasis starts to focus more on written text. Whereas oral language offers hints as to the meaning of new vocabulary: intonation, inflection, body language, shared surroundings . . . Young children (0-4 yrs.) acquire lots of language orally. Text is often not the easiest source for acquiring new vocabulary . Written language often doesn’t offer as many clues as the spoken language.

  8. Iceberg Analogy - Cummins Conversational Language BICS 1 - 3 years Also known as “Surface Structure” Tier 1 words Academic Language CALPS 4 – 10 years Also known as “Deep Structure” Tier2,3words • Tier 1 words are words that fit into BICS – jump, big, father, mother • Tier 2 words are expanded academic words, more abstract big/enormous, multiple meaning words. Students need practice in using these words and thinking about where they are found. (LEPs misinterpret these words often) • Tier 3 words are subject specific (ELA: drama/fiction, SCI: terrain, legend) and need to be taught explicitly within content learning

  9. Conventional Wisdom: Vocabulary is learned from context. But . . . Is it?

  10. “He needs to see it in context.” • Steven won the bike race outright and crossed the finish line with a triumphant grin on his face as the crowd cheered energetically. “It seems so easy for him,” Malcom said grudginglyas he watched Steven approach the announcer to accept his prize.

  11. Continuum of Context • Misdirective: Direct the student to the incorrect meaning • Non-directive: Don’t appear to help the student at all • General contexts: Help the reader understand the general sense of the word • Directive contexts: Likely to lead the student towards the correct meaning of a word.

  14. WS Journal – Sept 20, 2009 "Hugo has cleaned out some of the building stock that wasn't built especially well anyway and replaced it with newer construction," Schiff said. South Carolina has __________ a number of lesser storms since Hugo. The busiest storm season on record in South Carolina was five years ago, when a series of smaller storms hit the coast causing at least $146 million in damage. But nothing compares to Hugo, which started a tradition of Charleston returning the favor for the help it received.
