Vocabulary practice is provided to them as well. ]]> 2019-03-08 00:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339134933 https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339149972 Regular practice with complex text and its academic language means to me that we have the students continually practice writing though activities such as writing in their journals. We have them practice their vocabulary by writing sentences to remember their words better. ]]> 2019-03-08 01:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339149972 To me regular practice with complex text and its academic language means that we engage students in text that will challenge them to learn new vocabulary through context clues. In order for students to grasp vocabulary words successfully we must have them read text that allow them to uncover the meaning. It is then important that we have students define vocabulary words once they have been exposed and encourage them to use it in speaking and writing. https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339703824 2019-03-10 17:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339703824 https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339969647 Regular practice with complex text and its academic language means to me that as a future educator I must provide my students with a variety of text that will challenge their vocabulary at an appropriate level.]]> 2019-03-11 14:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jillsiefken/16if848oqigi/wish/339969647
