For my students, and many other students, being taught difficult vocabulary terms is critical for their understanding of a topic or a text. As academic demands increase with the Common Core Standards, it is important for students to be explicitly taught academic vocabulary and how to apply new vocabulary learning to future texts.
This page demonstrates how I would teach character traits of a leader to a fifth grade guided reading groups. Examples of charts I would create are included, as well as descriptions of what I would do in different situations. These activities explicitly teach words as well as application to different texts that students will read in the future.
