This includes words that appear often in complex texts and that are key to understanding directions, relationships, and to making inferences. They are also called Tier II words. Students encounter Tier II words in their reading, but may not use them in their oral and written responses unless they are confident users of the words. Students will also encounter Tier III words as they read. Tier III words are the discipline-specific, concept words and key terms students will need to know to understand the complex texts they will read in science, history, social studies, math, literature and other content areas in high school and beyond.\u003Cbr>Guide students and teams to an understanding of academic language by discussing examples of it in student answers. Remind teams that to earn a team celebration point in the Lightning Round, their responses must include academic language. Point out to students that they will find academic language in their Team Talk questions or the passages of text the question refers to. They will also explore academic language, such as Tier III words, in their word power journals.\u003Cbr>Some examples of Tier II and Tier III academic language are provided below.\u003Cbr>Tier II Words Nouns Qualifying Words/Phrases Verbs advantages aim appearance caption characteristics conclusion\u003Cbr>conditions\u003Cbr>controversy development diagram evidence factors\u003Cbr>focus\u003Cbr>function impact issue materials opportunity outcome process purpose reaction role statement\u003Cbr>structures according to the text accurately additionally, in addition commonly\u003Cbr>correctly due to the fact equally especially\u003Cbr>for example, for instance\u003Cbr>for these reasons generally however in contrast meanwhile on the other hand significantly\u003Cbr>similarly specifically typically affects analyze argues communicates\u003Cbr>conclude\u003Cbr>connects\u003Cbr>conveys creates defends\u003Cbr>demonstrates differs emphasizes examine identifies illustrates includes\u003Cbr>indicated\u003Cbr>involves located oppose portrayed\u003Cbr>presents\u003Cbr>proves\u003Cbr>provides refers\u003Cbr>reinforces\u003Cbr>relates\u003Cbr>resolves\u003Cbr>resulted\u003Cbr>suggests\u003Cbr>supports |\n\n\n| Academic Language, cont. |\n| --- |\n| Tier III Words Concept Words bias\u003Cbr>climate\u003Cbr>conflict\u003Cbr>density\u003Cbr>epicenter\u003Cbr>equation\u003Cbr>erosion\u003Cbr>feudal heliocentric hypothesis integer modernization photosynthesis phylum\u003Cbr>predator prey\u003Cbr>primary source socialism value |","cbCaikfgZGHpeWDH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikfgZGHpeWDH","pdf",202100,"English","# Academic Language\n## Tier II and Tier III Words\n## Teaching Strategies and Examples","[{\"question\":\"What is academic language and who uses it?\",\"answer\":\"Academic language is the language used in school by students.
