  2. Tips • This routine is DIFFERENT from how you may have taught vocabulary in the past. It begins with heavy teacher modeling, or “I Do”. This includes providing several examples and the meaning before asking for student examples. It NEVER includes asking for a student to guess or supply the meaning, nor does it have students look up the word in the glossary. (See the Red Routines tab in the back of the TG for complete details.) • Remember that this routine should have lots of student interaction, including “whole group response”, meaning that students will respond chorally when prompted. That might mean, for example, repeating something after the teacher, or waiting for a signal to say something all together. • Before the lesson begins, assign students in pairs (one and two). Frequently give those pairs a quick assignment, like generating at least 2 ideas that might fit in a sentence starter blank, or read the sentence starter to each other, completing the blank with something that they think fits. (It is always good to make these very open-ended, when possible, so that many answers could fit.) • Remember to use an electronic timer! Tell them they have 30 seconds, for example, to share sentences with their partner, or one minute (or two) to write and complete the sentence. This easily raises accountability, as long as they know you stick to it, and don’t keep giving them more time.
