Extend into learning more about the word by using context clues to transform sentence example and definition into a passage for research paper. Entire Class: A‐Z Definition Wall will be created A‐Z Definition Wall will be posted and used when peer‐editing to examine if Application of Material: technical vocabulary used or over used (encourage to use synonym). By defining – selecting a synonym – and composing a sentence with key word Extension Questions: will student incorporate more professional, technical vocabulary when composing a research paper?
