Building Academic Vocabulary in Science. Midwest City-Del City Public Schools

Transcription

1 Building Academic Vocabulary in Science Midwest City-Del City Public Schools Guaranteed Words: Content-specific and/or general academic words upon which Marzano's six-step BAV process will be performed. Each teacher in Mid-Del is tasked with ensuring all guaranteed words are taught and kept in students' grade-level Building Academic Vocabulary Notebooks to be built upon and referred to during the school year. For more information and resources regarding BAV, please visit the Building Academic Vocabulary page by going to the Mid-Del home page, going to the Teachers tab and clicking on Curriculum. How they appear in this document. Guaranteed words are listed alphabetically on each grade-level page. Where else they can be found. This list of words appears at the beginning of each grade-level curriculum calendar, found on the Mid-Del website under District Curriculum. Support Words: Words that support the understanding and use of guaranteed words are considered 'support.' Teachers are not expected to perform Marzano's six-step process on them, however, teachers may find it beneficial to use some of the words as examples or nonexamples of guaranteed words. Support words are important in the vertical alignment and scaffolding processes and will be seen in lessons throughout the year. How they appear in this document. Support words, when provided, appear within the gradelevel page, but in a separate column labeled 'support.' If you would like to provide additional support words for your grade level/subject area to be added throughout the year, please send an containing the grade-level and word to Michelle Alvarez at malvarez@mid-del.net. Where else they can be found. Within your district-provided curriculum resources. Kindergarten 1 st Grade 2 nd Grade 3 rd Grade 4 th Grade 5 th Grade 6 th Grade 7 th Grade 8 th Grade Biology
