Words with several meanings — use the words

Teacher edition · Grade 8 · Lesson 15 · blocked
The sentence around it decides which meaning is live.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.
qualify — make less absolute / be eligible
resolve — settle / decide firmly
appreciate — understand / value
observe — watch / remark
sound — noise / reliable
marked — graded / clear
novel — a book / new
capital — money / a city / a letter
plant — factory / growing thing
volume — a book / loudness / space
current — flow / present
abstract — a summary / not concrete
MATCH — watch forRecognition only. A child can do this by elimination without meaning anything by the word, which is why it is rung one and not the whole sheet.

2. CHOOSE

Fill each gap with the right word. Word bank: abstract, appreciate, capital, current, marked, novel, observe, plant, qualify, resolve, sound, volume.
Word bank: abstract, appreciate, capital, current, marked, novel, observe, plant, qualify, resolve, sound, volume.

An ocean current. Current research.
Read the abstract. An abstract idea.
CHOOSE — watch forPRACTICE MODE: blocked. All gaps come from today's set.

3. FRAME

Finish each sentence.
Expect the FULL sentence on the line, not just the missing word. A one-word answer is incomplete — ask for it again.
Although ___
Although rainone possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
In contrast, ___
In contrast, rainone possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “opening only”, and it shrinks each time this unit returns until there is no frame at all — the child should be able to feel it coming off.

4. PRODUCE

Write your own sentences using the academic words. Target: 5 paragraphs. A + means more than one sentence in that slot. Only one of yours may use the frame. Choose which one needs it.

PRODUCE — watch forThe printed target is the LOTF move: the child can see what a full answer looks like instead of guessing how much is enough. The Today's frame ration is 1 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.

5. JUDGE

For each pair, mark which version suits the reader named — and say why.

JUDGE — watch forOver-formal writing is a real fault, not a safe one. A child who always picks the longer word has learned vocabulary, not register.
