Teaching Strategy: Reflective Teaching
1. Task: Students will write a reflective journal entry on how they used context clues
and word parts to learn new vocabulary in a recent text they read.
2. Task: In pairs, students will discuss real-life situations where understanding
vocabulary is essential (e.g., reading instructions, understanding news articles).
Discussion: Students will share insights from their journal entries and pair
discussions, reinforcing the importance of vocabulary in daily life.

Evaluate:
Teaching Strategy: Formative Assessment

Questions:
1. What strategies did you use to identify unfamiliar words in your reading?
2. How can analyzing word parts help you in your future studies?
3. Describe a situation where using new vocabulary helped you communicate more
effectively.

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How does understanding the structure of a word help you predict its meaning in a
new context?
2. If you encounter a new word in a text, what steps would you take to determine its
meaning?
3. Why is it important to learn vocabulary in context rather than just memorizing
definitions?

Answers:
1. Understanding the structure helps in predicting meaning because it allows you to
break down components that are familiar.
2. I would look for context clues in surrounding sentences, analyze the word parts,
and check for synonyms or antonyms.
3. Learning vocabulary in context enhances retention and practical use, making it
more relevant and meaningful.

Assignment:
1. Create a personal vocabulary journal where you record new words you encounter
throughout the week, including their definitions, contexts, and example sentences.
Use reflection to analyze how these words can be used in your daily conversations.
