Planning a piece of work — bring the words back

Teacher edition · Grade 8 · Lesson 38 · blocked
A working title, a preliminary draft, the scope of the topic.

1. MATCH

Draw a line from each academic word to the everyday word that means about the same.
a working title — a first name for it
a preliminary draft — a first version
scope the topic — decide how wide
a literature review — what others wrote
a research question — what you will answer
a timeline — when each part happens
allocate time — set aside
a first pass — a rough attempt
narrow the focus — make it smaller
a structure — the plan of parts
a deadline — the due date
revise and edit — improve then fix
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: a deadline, a first pass, a literature review, a preliminary draft, a research question, a structure, a timeline, a working title, allocate time, narrow the focus, revise and edit, scope the topic.

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.
Because ___, the a working title ___.
Because rain, the a working title rain.one possible answer — accept any full sentence that uses the word properly
We use a working title when ___.

FRAME — watch forThe release to independence. Today's scaffold is “partial”, 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. You may use the frame for two of your three. Try the third without 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 2 — say it aloud, and say BOTH halves: the frame is there if they need it, and it is better writing without it.
