Description
The vocabulary of any subject matter is a foreign language to students. Words like expository writing, verb tense, synonym, idiom, modifier, articles, adjective, or adverb are not part of their speaking vocabulary. Workshop Way’s approach for vocabulary development in a content area is to provide a quick daily drill in two formats so that students are immersed in the vocabulary of the content.
