Activities include sentence completion with brief elicited responses, word association with justification of matches, scenario-based questions that test understanding of implications without definitions, and affect-rating word games followed by explanations. Additional tools build contexts through think-pair-share, and develop meaning through pantomime and imagining/writing prompts using target words in guided situations.",{"@graph":69,"@context":123},[70,84,106],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/vocabulary-activities-that-promote-rich-acquisition/410245/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/vocabulary-activities-that-promote-rich-acquisition/410245.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"awa","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":105},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",13,{"@type":107,"mainEntity":108},"FAQPage",[109,115,119],{"name":110,"@type":111,"acceptedAnswer":112},"How should sentence completion activities be conducted?","Question",{"text":113,"@type":114},"Provide a beginning sentence on each student log sheet and ask students to finish it so it makes sense.

What they need to do is add a sentence or finish the sentence in a way that makes sense.  \nRead the first sentence.“Mom had to coax me to take the medicine.” Ask why Mom would have to coax you to take medicine and then have a student give a response, using the whole sentence, e.g. Mom had to coax me to take the medicine because it tasted awful.”  \nWhen a good sentence is elicited, write it on the board (or overhead) .  \nThe sentences elicited should be fairly short. They need not restate a definition or the target word.  \n!\"\\#$\"%\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\\# $%&&%'(') *+ ,*--.  \nThere was a huge sigh of relief when the group finally  \n&'&($)$*'&\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\\# &%%/(') 0* 1%,-*')2 ,(03 $(00$% *- '*  \n4-**+  \nFrancisco saw Susan in the hallway and was instantly suspicious.   \nAdapted from: Beck, I., McKeown, M.

The Guilford Press: New York, NY.  \nWord Association  \nStudents match the vocabulary word with a simple definition or example (alter the definition somewhat each time you use it) . There are common matches, but there are no right and wrong answers in this activity. The critical part of this exercise is to explain why they go together once they have made a match. While students should answer why every time, it is particularly important when a student gives an answer other than the one you expected.  \n\"\\#$\\# %&'\"($ ) *$+\"%%$, -.\"/01$ 2$3\"%\"4\"&%5  \n6\"%2$,+7,4$%$, -7% $87/01$5  \n9.\"(6 :\"4; 4;$ 31\u003C= -.4\u003C2$%4. :\"11 1\"6$1> .7> 1\".41$..5  \n9?&&2@ :;> 2\"2 >&\u003C 4;\"%6 .\"(6 :\"4; 4;$ 31\u003C +&$. :\"4; 1\".41$..A=  \n93&,+$44\"%+ >&\u003C, 1\"%$. \"% 7 017>= -.4\u003C2$%4. :\"11 1\"6$1> .7> 31\u003C.4$,$25  \n9?&&2@ :;> 2\"2 >&\u003C 4;\"%6 3&,+$44\"%+ >&\u003C, 1\"%$. +&$. :\"4; 31\u003C.4$,$2A=  \nAdapted from: Beck, I., McKeown, M.

Then the teacher calls on students (choose students with different ratings when possible) and asks them to explain their rating. For example, T: Why did you say boo for horror? S1: Because horror makes me think of scary things, and I don’t like scary things. S2: I said yay because I love being scared at horror movies. Both students have a good understanding of the word meaning based on their explanations.  \nAdapted from: Beck, I., McKeown, M. G., & Kucan, L. (2002).

Ask the question and have students think, pair, share.
