Anticipatory
Set
In order to grab the students attention, I will present them with a word many students at their
educational level may not know and then I will ask if any of them know it prior to presenting an
example of what they will be creating. I will ask the students why it is important to learn new
vocabulary and discuss how it is helpful to look up and understand the meaning of words as we
read in order to ensure complete comprehension of what we are reading.

Modifications
To modify: If the activity is too advanced for a child, students will be allowed to use their laptops
for additional understanding of the word provided to them. Also, students will work with partners
to be able to bounce ideas off of one another.
To extend: If the activity is too easy for a child, students will be asked to give more synonyms for
their vocabulary word and explain why they are good synonyms as well as write a second
sentence or move on to the next stage.
Assessment
After students have completed their posters for their vocabulary words, students will present
their words to the class. Students will be assessed on their ability to teach and explain their word
to the class. Students will turn in their posters at the end of the class to create a vocabulary wall
that will be used during the reading of the short story.
