Several indications are described below.  \nLesson Plans  \nThe Key Vocabulary Routine is designed to be embedded in content classroom instruction. One indication of classroom use is inclusion of the activities noted below in daily lesson plans.  \nClassroom Evidence of Use  \nThere are five components in the routine that teachers should use in their classrooms. They are detailed below.  \n1. Previewing difficult vocabulary before reading  \nThe goal of previewing is to provide enough information about unfamiliar words so that students will not“stumble” over them while reading. The goal of previewing is NOT to provide in-depth instruction about all of these words.  \nIndications of use include:  \n􀁸 Previewing by the teacher of text to determine words that are essential to understanding the text but may be unfamiliar to students  \n􀁸 Lists of previewing words the teacher has selected and given to students  \n􀁸 Class discussion to activate existing background knowledge about these words and to provide some familiarity with the words  \n􀁸 Use of student knowledge rating checklists (see example below)  \n\n| Word | Know it well,\u003Cbr>can explain\u003Cbr>it, use it | Know\u003Cbr>something\u003Cbr>about it, can\u003Cbr>relate it to a\u003Cbr>situation | Have seen or\u003Cbr>heard the\u003Cbr>word | Do not know\u003Cbr>the word |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n\n2. Using activities that connect vocabulary to background knowledge and related words  \nStudents will learn new words faster if they can connect them to existing related background knowledge or other related words. The Key Vocabulary Routine uses these four connecting activities: Semantic Mapping, Categorizing, Semantic Feature Analysis, Scaling. (see the examples below)  \nSemantic Mapping: students are asked to brainstorm all the words they can associate with a key vocabulary term. Then they are asked to group the words (see examples below).  \n\n| glove\u003Cbr>diamond\u003Cbr>bases\u003Cbr>batter\u003Cbr>dugout | innings summer\u003Cbr>homerun\u003Cbr>bat\u003Cbr>outfield\u003Cbr>popcorn |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | game\u003Cbr>catcher\u003Cbr>coach | players\u003Cbr>hot dogs your're safe |  |  |\n|  |  | \u003Cbr>Baseball\u003Cbr>uniform\u003Cbr>cleats | fans\u003Cbr>ball\u003Cbr>pictcher | shortstop\u003Cbr>bleachers\u003Cbr>infield |\n| foul\u003Cbr>excitement\u003Cbr>umpire you're out |  |  |  |  |\n\nCategorizing: students are asked to organize a list of vocabulary words into categories and then label the categories.  \nSemantic Feature Analysis: students are asked to complete a matrix that makes connections between a list of related words and associated features (see example below).  \n\n|  | Narrow | Wide | Paved | Unpaved | For walking | For driving |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Path |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Trail |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Road |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Lane |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Boulevard |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Freeway |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Turnpike |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nScaling: students are asked to generate a list of related words along a continuum when provided a pair of opposite words (see examples below).  \n\n|  | scorching broiling hot\u003Cbr>warm lukewarm tepid cool\u003Cbr>cold freezing |\n| --- | --- |\n\nwww  \n\n|  | introvert withdrawn timid shy social\u003Cbr>well adjusted independent secure confident |\n| --- | --- |\n\n3. Selecting specific words to teach in-depth  \nTeachers cannot directly teach all of the words that students may not know. However, it is important to teach some essential content words in-depth. First, teachers need to have a model for determining which words to teach. Then they must teach these words in-depth using.  \nIndications of use include:  \n􀁸 Teachers using a 3 Tier-Model for selecting words  \n􀁸 Teachers and students using templates to teach each word in-depth (see examples below)  \n􀁸 Students generating ","cbCaica0xIOE0VkC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaica0xIOE0VkC","pdf",345037,"English","# Lesson Plans\n## Classroom Evidence of Use\n## 1.
