What do you do when students struggle with comprehension because the vocabulary is too difficult? ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ Here’s a solution: Have students choose five unknown words from the text to define and apply. Application can take a variety of forms including...⠀⁣ -Sketch a picture⠀⁣ -Write a story⠀⁣ -Make a connection⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ In order to assess mastery, provide students with some sort of formative assessment. It doesn’t have to be complicated. ⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ It’s one of those things that seems so simple, but it really makes a huge difference!! Learning new words in context is such a game changer. ⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ If you’re interested in the printable and digital resources for learning new vocabulary in context, the link is my bio! Message me with any questions! ⠀⁣ ⠀⠀

DBQs are one of my favorite lesson types. Analyzing primary sources makes me so happy!! It’s like checking off all the teaching boxes at one time. Do you use DBQs with your students? Is there a topic or unit that you wish you could supplement with a DBQ? ⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ This printable and digital DBQ is focused on the Transcontinental Railroad. After analyzing six primary sources and answering the accompanying guided questions, students respond to the DBQ prompt.⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ Also included: background text on the RR, vocabulary support, paragraph outline, rubric, and answer keys! ⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ Link in Bio ⠀⠀⁣ ⠀⠀
