Use the Frayer Model to help in comprehension of vocabulary words.

When asked to complete a Frayer Model for a target word that was presented in a story or text the students will: write the word, rate their understanding of the word on a scale of 1-4, give the definition or definitions for the word, provide at least one synonym, illustrate the meaning with a picture, write a complete sentence using the word with good context clues to support meaning. I can demonstrate control of English through the use of grammar and mechanics (punctuation, capitalization, and spelling). I can use dictionaries, thesauruses, electronic sources, and glossaries as aids in determining the meaning of unfamiliar words. I can recognize and use grade-appropriate and content specific vocabulary within context. I can define and recognize synonyms. I can select the visual image that best reinforces a viewpoint or enhances a presentation.
