  1. How does a teacher determine which vocabulary words and phrases are essential? They should examine: • GPS • PICASSO • Reading material – textbooks, etc • High-frequency word lists 10 Questions to ask yourself: • Which words are most important to understanding the text? • How much prior knowledge will students have about this word or its related concept? • Is the concept significant and does it therefore require pre-teaching? • Is the word encountered frequently? • Does the word have multiple meanings? • Which words can be figured out from the context? • Are there words that could be grouped together to enhance understanding a concept? • What strategies could I employ to help students’ integrate the concept (and related words) into their lives? • How can I make repeated exposures to the word/concept productive and enjoyable? • How can I help students use the word/concept in meaningful ways in multiple contexts?
