Marzano's Academic Language

Can I simplify the Marzano steps to learning new vocab so that we can use it in class
Academic Language:

Introducing topic vocabulary - to coincide with Wa Kitea
Theme: Performance, activities include:
  • Making puppets
  • Puppet theatre
  • Play Big Book (The Ant and the Grasshoppers)
  • Dress ups
  • Ipads - making videos of performances

Vocab introduction (brainstorm and general discussion around meaning)

Choose vocab to focus on - Audience
Tell your partner what the word audience means?
Think, Pair, Share (use talk moves language - do you agree? Can you add to that for me?

Draw what the word Audience means to you…

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for another word -  script

Use the words in conversations, writing, descriptions

Words become a part of our vocab
“I enjoyed it when the audience watched our performance” Lilly

“I could see that the people on stage were using a script” Danny
