Common Core Shift 6 suggests that it is important to dig deeper into Tier II vocabulary words. Tier II words are those words that are found across many content areas and change meaning depending on context.
An effective way to dig deeper into vocabulary words
- Identify significant text in digital format.
- Wordle the text to find the most frequently used words.
- Return to the Digital text and use the Find Tool to find occurrences of those words in the text.
- Dig deeper through discussion, writing, research and drawing.
