Check-In with everyone
PRESENTERS: have participants follow along with their worksheet. Use your voice to emphasize the vocabulary word to increase recognition for learners.
Top Half
Share screen and have someone read the word that is being found in each sentence. Give everyone time to find it in the sentence. Have someone in the group tell you what words are next to it. Use annotation to circle it then read the sentence aloud with emphasis on the high frequency word.
Bottom Half
As a group, make up a sentence that uses the word on the left. Dictate the sentence for strong writers to add it on their sheets. You can also type it into the shared screen with the text annotation tool.
