Description: a classroom-based active learning strategy where students are encouraged to build on their knowledge about a topic or content to promote higher-order thinking, interaction and cooperative learning.
Purpose: I would use context clues to help students understand unfamiliar words or phrases. A way to do this is by examining an unfamiliar word through the text information surrounding that word.
Description: A visual representation showing the relationships between ideas.
Purpose: I would use this strategy to teach comprehension- the student can connect between a main idea and supplimentary ideas (e.g., developing a main idea and supporting ideas).
Description: is a strategy to teach students how to understand the meaning of the words and phrases contained within a text to understand it.
Purpose: I would use a semantic feature analysis when a student has difficulty accessing the specific word or label they want to say. Training typically involves auditory and visual cueing to facilitate provision of particular pieces of information.
Description: A frayer model (a graphic representation showing definition, picture, example and non-examples) can be used across all disciplines- it will truly help students to learn, know, and remember their vocabulary.
Purpose: I would use this strategy teach students vocabulary.
