Science
List-Group-Label: List-Group-Label can be used in Science to help students learn the vocabulary of a topic. The teacher can start with a topic, such as plants. The students could then pick out words that have to deal with plants from off of the top of their head or from the text they are learning from. The students would then group the words together and give each individual group a label.
Concept Sort: Concept sort can be used in Science to help students comprehend what they are learning. The teacher preselects words from the text that the students are being taught from and gives the words to the students. The student's job is to sort the words into preselected categories, for example, if the concept was plants, then

After the students are done talking with their partners about the question, the whole class shares what they have come up with.
Visual Imagery: Visual imagery can be used in math by helping the students comprehend what they are learning. The teacher should explain how to work out word problems and equations and write each step out on the board. Students will then be able to see exactly how to solve the math problems which will enhance their comprehension. Visual Imagery can also be used to explain math vocabulary.
Word Maps:A word map can be used in math to help students comprehend math vocabulary. The teacher will create a word map for the students that they will have to fill out using a selected math vocabulary word. The vocab word will be in the center of the map with surrounding topics, such as definition, synonym, antonym, draw a picture, write a sentence, and how the student could use that word in a real world situation.
Social Studies
Semantic Feature Analysis: Semantic feature analysis can be used in social studies to help students learn vocabulary words and comprehend what they are reading. When using semantic feature analysis, the teacher creates a chart with vocabulary words going down the left hand column and the important featured topics going across the top row. The students then place + signs in the proper slot if the vocab word aligns with the topic,and if the vocab word does not align with the topic the student puts a - sign.
While familiarizing myself with context clues and connotation in this unit, I have discovered that it enriches your vocabulary immensely. Context clues give you the ability to find the definitions of words you never knew the meaning of. You can practice this skill by using word association, or by thinking of synonyms for a word or phrase. Another skill that helps with finding new definitions of words is connotation. Connotation can aid in finding new words and their definitions by letting you see how the word fits in and what the use of the word is alongside another phrase or word.
To explain imagery is a visually descriptive or figurative language, especially in a literary work. An example of imagery is, “ the slide was smooth and slick and was painted a bright faded red.” This quote visually explains how the slide looks like. The use of this simile furthers the story because you can feel the story forming around you. To conclude, the use of imagery makes the story more clear for the reader to understand the
Using material from Item A and elsewhere assess the view that crime and deviance are the product of labelling processes.
A word wall for scientific vocabulary can be created for courses like Chemistry, Physical Science, Earth Science, and Physics core classes. For example, in chemistry a word wall for physical changes, chemical change, and periodic table vocabulary can be constructed by the students. For Physics, words like speed, velocity, kinetic energy, and potential energy can be posted on the wall for a lesson on forces and motion to help facilitate the acquisition of academic terminology for ELL learners in the field of science. Also concepts that are opposite to each other like strong/weak, long/short. Hot/cold, soft/hard, ect. allows students to develop critical thinking skills required for comparing and contract analysis.
together as a class will also reinforce what they have learned and will give the teacher an

The teacher shows an Aboriginal painting and questions students to describe it mathematically and teaches about symmetry, shapes, angles, patterns, numbers, addition, subtraction and division found from the painting.
The teacher will begin by explaining to students that there are many ways to learn to read. The way they will learn today is called the “whole word model.” In this way of reading students will look at the first sound and think about what word may fit based on the other words in the book. Teacher will explain to student that by thinking about what word may be next, combined with looking at the first letter or letters of a word they can begin to ascertain what the word may be. The teacher will then use the flashcards and review each letter and what sounds it can make.
Another example I would use, would be a picture of 'Peter Rabbit' running, which could be an illustration of the vocabulary words 'wandered' or 'scampered'. During the reading of the story 'Peter Rabbit', I will point to the vocabulary word in the pocket chart and ask my students, 'what is this word'? and we will say it together; example: 'Trembling'. I would then ask the students a comprehension question like; 'What was Peter Rabbit doing'? A students response could be; 'Peter Rabbit was trembling with fright'.
Another use of imagery is when the author used imagery to describe how the crowd was. It said,” Smagler gunned a long shot that swished through the net from outside the three-point line. Suddenly the lead was cut in half. The Suns all shouted, but they lost concentration just a second too long.” This made me paint of picture of how they made the shot and started screaming and shouting and let the Lakers go back down and score
Each student takes a few minutes to think through an appropriate response on his or her own and then pairs with another student to share their responses. After putting their ideas together, they create a collaborative response to share with the class.
Students are taken back in to the classroom where they discuss their findings and thoughts on the activity.
This utilization of imagery helps illustrate
Some concepts that we discussed in class, that I saw in the classrooms, included letting students share how they found an answer. In the fifth grade classroom, which had
Visual learning is exemplified when students can look at something that visually represents a mathematical concept, thus enhancing their understanding of the topic being taught. Just as a picture may worth a thousand words and may convey a message, manipulatives can provide visual representation of ideas thereby helping students understand mathematics.
