2 The Five Senses: Supplemental Guide | Introduction
Each activity may take up to 5 minutes to complete. The Multiple
Meaning Word Activity helps students to determine and clarify the
different meanings of words. The Syntactic Awareness Activity calls
students’ attention to sentence structure, word order, and grammar. The
Vocabulary Instructional Activity places importance on building students’
general academic, or Tier 2, vocabulary. Part B concludes with an interim
assessment opportunity called an End-of-Lesson Check-In; this is a dual
opportunity for the teacher to focus on a select group of students to
directly assess the students’ language and content knowledge in a low
stress environment. Moreover, the teacher can gauge which students
may be in need of additional language or content support.Second Instructional Day
