In order to provide targeted instruction for all students, the teacher chooses content concepts appropriate for the age and educational background level of students, the teacher adapts content for all students, and the teacher plans meaningful activities to integrate lesson concepts. As the teacher shares new terminology related to types of poetry, which of the following strategies will best support the English language learners' understanding of the new words?

A teacher anticipates students will have a difficult time reading an expository text associated with content planned for a science lesson. Which of the following strategies might the teacher implement prior to reading the text?

A third grade teacher wants to use semantic feature analysis to reinforce students' understanding and organization of key concepts while reading expository texts. The teacher prepares the lesson by selecting a text about birds and determining the categories and features for the grid. On the day of the lesson, the teacher tells the students that they are going to read a text about birds but before they do, they are going to complete a grid that will help them think about different characteristics of different birds. The teacher helps the students fill in the following grid about birds: lays eggs, flies, migratory, builds nests, and pets. In the grid above, the teacher uses the word 'migratory'; however, the plans do not incorporate the direct pre-teaching of this word. Which of the following vocabulary activities would be the best to incorporate into this lesson?
Use student background knowledge to learn new words.
An elementary teacher uses synonyms as a strategy to define general vocabulary. The teacher's goal is to —
Given a specific root, students work with a partner to create a list of words with the root then write definitions for the words on their list.
Mrs. Coronado teaches fifth grade ESL at Reginald Elementary School. Her students have a wide array of English language proficiency but recently she discovered that most of her students were having difficulty understanding multi-syllabic words with prefixes and suffixes. Mrs. Coronado would like to plan an activity that leads to the purposeful use of morphemic analysis as a word learning strategy. Which of the following activities is best suited to achieve this purpose?

SPF stands for "sun protection factor" — how well a sunscreen works at keeping the sun's burning rays from roasting your skin. When you buy sunscreen, make sure you get some with an SPF of greater than 15 (SPF 45 and higher protects only a bit more than 30 does...) and that your sunscreen blocks both UVA and UVB rays (types of light). You'll need to get a bottle, shake it, fill up a handful, and slather it all over your body. (Yes, we said "handful." You need that much for good coverage.) Put it on 30 minutes before you go out in the sun. Don't forget to cover your face, lips, hands, forearms, shoulders, ears, back of your neck, under your chin, and the top of your head. Watch your eyes — it could sting! If you're worried about breaking out, try a gel sunscreen. And if your skin reacts badly to one brand, try another. Not all sunscreens have the same ingredients. Protecting your skin is important. Remember, if you're like most people, exposure to the sun will cause almost all of its damage to your skin before your 18th birthday. Be careful out there! Which of the following answers best explains how the expository text helps build student vocabulary knowledge and development?
The use of synonyms would enhance word recognition.
The teacher considers ways to use word relationships and the students' prior knowledge to expand vocabulary knowledge. Which of the following strategies would best enhance word recognition?
