Discuss and describe methods you have found to be useful at each of these stages (before, during, after) in the learning process. 2. Based on the information discussed on vocabulary learning, share with the group one area in which you feel you are already addressing in your instruction. Also discuss one area in which you plan to make changes in order to better address specific vocabulary instruction needs of students. -Collaborate – Respond to one person’s posting with comments on the information they shared, ideas/suggestions for the future, and any additional words of wisdom. __ Part II __ -Post personal response to the following questions by November 11th. 1. Marzano and Taylor’s vocabulary instruction, outlined in the Systematic Vocabulary Instruction PPT, are both research-based and similar in process. Do you have a preference for one or the other? How do these processes mirror what you’ve already been doing to impact students’ vocabulary learning? 2. Choose one of the processes (Marzano or Taylor) to try in your classroom. Reflect on how it went including: Which process did you use? What was the context of the vocabulary learning? How did it go (benefits, drawbacks)? Is there anything you would do differently in the future? -Collaborate – Respond to one person’s posting with comments on the information they shared, ideas/suggestions for the future, and any additional words of wisdom.
