=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Lesson Content: Vocabulary for Crucible Act IV and Discussion Questions =

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Estimated Time for Lesson: Vocabulary 15-20 min, Discussion Questions and Reading 2- 45 min class periods =

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Standards/Benchmarks Being Met:


 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">L.11-12.4 Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grades 11–12 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Anticipatory Set: “Let’s be real, there are some tough words in this play that have many people scratching their heads and feeling befuddled or confused. Let’s see if we can’t work together to gain a deeper understanding of them as we look at the last Act.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Instructional Input: “I know that many of you have the words and definitions down from the end of the test yesterday. If you are not finished I want you to jot the definitions down as we move along. I think that they key to understanding new words and concepts is to really “own” them. I don’t mean that you should purchase the word, rather, know that word inside and out so completely that it has no power over you. Often when we are presented with new words and idea we can become frustrated when we read the text and have no knowledge as to what that word truly is representing. Connecting the word with another word we know or a visual will help us to understand the word and build our comfort level with that word.”

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I will then go through all of the words with them and also allow for them to add similar or clue words to their sheet for better understanding and schematic connections.

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Monitoring to Check for Understanding: I will ask thumbs up or down on each of the words to know that it is time to move on when 80% of the class is ready. =

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Guided Practice: We will talk about each of the words as a group and act out the words that we can. =

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Independent Practice: They will define and give an example for each word. They can make their own associations with a synonym of their choosing. =

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Summary:The students will need to review the words covered today for the final.Making an association with the words is mnemonic that will help them to remember the words. =

=<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Follow-Up Activity: The students will review each of the vocabulary words as we read through act IV. They will also have a test at the end of the unit over the words. =
