Instructional Ideas
- As a class, keep a running list of multiple meaning words; record and define new ones as the unit, or school year progresses
- Turn the description lesson into a game; have pupils guess hidden objects based on a peer's descriptions, and reward as you see fit
- Create and display a temporary class collection; invite learners to bring in two objects that go together
Classroom Considerations
- Some of the ESL lessons' materials are not included, but remain usable with modifications
- The unit was designed as part of the Houghton Mifflin English language arts curriculum; however, it can be used independently or along with another curriculum of similar concepts
Pros
- Multi-level responses and language transfer support suggestions are provided
- The overall design is easy to follow, well written, and gives plenty of detail
Cons
- None
