|
Advanced Preparation: | Approximate duration of the learning activity: 0-15 minutes Teacher Materials and Resources
Student Materials and Resources Pencil/crayons to draw a picture of the vocabulary words in the acceleration activity. The background knowledge and advanced preparation required for the learning activity: Students should have a basic understanding of word structure (prefixes are located at the beginning of the word, root words can be at the beginning or middle of a word and can stand alone, and suffixes are located at the end of the word). The definition of prefixes, root words, and suffixes are provided in the Jamboard to assist students in building their definitions of the words. The teacher should review the video and Jamboard before the lesson to become familiar with the keywords and the context of the keywords used in the video. |
Variation Tips (optional): | Acceleration: The students may draw a picture to go with the definitions on the Planting Vocabulary Knowledge Part 1 Jamboard. Intervention: The teacher will pull students into a small group based on teacher observations by formatively assessing students during the whole group lesson. The teacher will provide additional instruction by utilizing a supplemental video to build student understanding of words relating to the life cycle of a plant. The teacher will review the prefixes, root words, and suffixes to guide students to create a definition for germinate, photosynthesis, and pollinate. |
Notes or Recommendations (optional): | Interdisciplinary Connection(s) course of study standards SC15.3.6 Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death. This lesson should be used in conjunction with Planting Vocabulary Knowledge Part 2 (during activity) and Planting Vocabulary Knowledge Part 3 (after activity). |
