analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone.  \n● Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings.  \n● Read and comprehend complex literary and informational texts independently and proficiently.  \nObjective: Students will learn to use semantic maps to help them understand and organize words in text.  \n\n| Materials |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| ● One short text at appropriate instructional level.\u003Cbr>● Whiteboard, overhead, or some type of visual projector for the class to view during instruction.\u003Cbr>● Pencil.\u003Cbr>● Paper or notebook.\u003Cbr>● Semantic Mapping Sheet (see below) . |  |\n| Suggested Schedule and Group Size |  |\n| Schedule: Daily, no more than five minutes to 10 minutes per session.\u003Cbr>Recommended group size: Small group, although exact group size will vary depending upon grade level.\u003Cbr>Note: The following script is intended as a model. |  |\n| Activity |  |\n| Intervention Principle | Sample Script and Procedures |\n| Use precise, simple language to set the purpose for the lesson. | When we read, we see words we do not know, and we must use strategies to help us learn the meanings of new words. Good readers use semantic maps to help them connect new words with words they already know. Today, we are going to focus on creating and using semantic maps to help us organize information from text. |\n\nAdapted with permission from the Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk.

Break the strategy into steps and explicitly teach each step.\u003Cbr>Provide opportunities for students to practice components of the strategy and receive feedback. | During today’s lesson, we will learn how to use a semantic map to help us organize information from text. A semantic map is a visual illustration of key words in a text and of how they relate to other words in that text.\u003Cbr>We will practice using a semantic map when we read today. Using a semantic map is a useful strategy because it helps us remember words and their meanings by grouping words together. When we learn new words, we connect the meanings ofthe new words to the meanings of previously learned words. Making connections among words helps us learn the meaning of new words.\u003Cbr>What is a semantic map? (A visual illustration or a graphic organizer to help make connections among words.)\u003Cbr>That’s right. Today we will learn how to create and use a semantic map to help us organize key words and information from text.\u003Cbr>Introduce the Semantic Mapping Sheet and review the organization of the web.\u003Cbr>The Semantic Mapping Sheet is a graphic organizer that will help you organize information. It includes a partially completed web graphic organizer on the topic of the sea. It is common to use a web graphic organizer to help readers organize a text that provides information on a topic. In the center of the web is the main topic of the text. (Point to“sea” in the middle of the map.)\u003Cbr>Later in class, you will create a semantic map about a new topic that isin your text for today’s reading. Our sample map is about the sea.
