They suggest ways to improve assessments that more precisely track students’ vocabulary growth across the curriculum, including English language learners. ]]> 2023-07-25 11:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650844737 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650846156 2023-07-25 11:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650846156 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650846800 2023-07-25 11:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650846800 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650847826 2023-07-25 11:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650847826 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650848543 2023-07-25 11:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650848543 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650849251 2023-07-25 11:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650849251 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650850938 Browse the language in ways you couldn't with traditional printed reference materials. ]]> 2023-07-25 11:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650850938 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650851649 2023-07-25 11:40:31 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650851649 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650852190 2023-07-25 11:42:17 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2650852190 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652657003 2023-07-28 13:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652657003 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652660201 1.

It places heavy emphasis on 21st century learning goals, including academic language, argumentation, analytic reasoning, reading to find evidence, oral discussion, and writing. Each unit introduces approximately 5–10 high-utility academic “focus words” and begins with an engaging text that introduces multiple perspectives on a high-interest topic. ]]> 2023-07-28 14:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652663374 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652668095 WordSift helps anyone easily sift through texts -- just cut and paste any text into WordSift and you can engage in a verbal quick-capture! The program helps to quickly identify important words that appear in the text. This function is widely available in various Tag Cloud programs on the web, but we have added the ability to mark and sort different lists of words important to educators. We have also integrated it with a few other functions, such as visualization of word thesaurus relationships (incorporating the amazing Visual Thesaurus® that we highly recommend in its own right) and a limited image-search feature. With just a click on any word in the Tag Cloud, the program displays instances of sentences in which that word is used in the text. ]]> 2023-07-28 14:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652668095 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652669257 he Academic Word List (AWL) contains 570 word families which frequently appear in academic texts, but which are not contained in the General Service List (GSL). When compiling the list, the author found that the AWL covers around 10% of words in academic texts; if you are familiar with words in the GSL, which covers around 80% of words in written texts, you would have knowledge of approximately 90% of words in academic texts. The words in the AWL are not connected with any particular subject, meaning they are useful for all students. 
The 570 word families of the AWL are divided into 10 lists (called sublists) according to how frequent they are. Sublist 1 has the most frequent word families, sublist 2 the next most frequent word families, up to sublist 10, which has the least frequent. Each sublist contains 60 word families, except for sublist 10, which only has 30. ]]> 2023-07-28 14:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2652669257 lindsey_scanlon https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2662418205 Resources and information about evidence based vocabulary instruction]]> 2023-08-15 13:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/TeachingandLearning832/u5zw02d8ner08t7h/wish/2662418205
