Step by Step a) teacher identifies vocabulary words for the students to write in their charts b) Students rate their understanding of the words before lesson using“+” for comfortable, “√” for comfortable with the definition or example but not both, “-” for not sure c) Teacher begins lesson and students fill in the chart with more words, definitions, and examples d) After lesson, students assess their understanding again and change symbols as needed

4. Benefits Students ◊ Organizes examples with vocabulary ◊ Can be used for review before tests ◊ Encourages definitions in own words Teachers ◊ Can assess the students’ understanding and comprehension before and after lessons ◊ Shows what needs to be taught further
