BUILDING A BETTER VOCABULARY
B. Lesson Description:
If you learn a lot of vocabulary words, you eventually start using them. Having a wide range of vocabulary will not only help you to express yourself better but also you will look and sound like an intellectual individual. It will help you get better jobs, get into good colleges, earn respect from your classmates, etc. It seems like junk to learn, but it really is good for you. This lesson will help you expand your vocabulary.
C. Learning Outcome:
At the end of the lesson you are expected to:
identify the meaning of the word through context clues.
name the different ways of getting meaning through context clues.
D. Learning Presentation:
Learning Object 1 -
At least half of the words in the English language are derived from Greek and Latin roots. Knowing these roots helps us to grasp the meaning of words before we look them up in the dictionary. It also helps us to see how words are often arranged in families with similar characteristics. To know more about how to build your vocabulary, please click here.
Learning Object 2 -
Adding affixes to existing words (the base or root) to form new words is common in academic English. Prefixes are added to the front of the base (like dislike), whereas suffixes are added to the end of the base (active activate). Prefixes usually do not change the class of the base word, but suffixes usually do change the class of the word.
E: Learning Activity:
Activity 1 -
Context clues are words and phrases in a sentence which help you reason out the meaning of an unfamiliar word. Oftentimes you can figure out the meanings of new or unfamiliar vocabulary by paying attention to the surrounding language. To learn more about the types of clues, signals and examples of each clue, please CLICK now.

ACTIVITIES
1. Motivation
Who can resist a customized sandwich? Have you tried preparing your own favorite sandwich? How many of you have tried ordering a tasty sandwich from a fastfood chain? Our lesson today will take us to Irma's Sandwich Shop, where Irma will make any kind of sandwich that is ordered for anyone-from little boys to vultures.
2. Unlocking Unfamiliar Words
Targeted Vocabulary WordsContent words
These words are unique food words that the reader will encounter in the book: pumpernickel, rye, ingredients, sauerkraut, horseradish, rancid, opossum, salsa, salami, sausage.
These words may be unique to the reader: Reuben, slithered, swamp, tongue, patiently, minced, rammed, squashed, impressive.
C. Set (attention getter/introduction)
Before reading the selection, introduce the book by showing the front and back cover and the title page. Ask: What do you see on the covers? What does this tell you about the book’s contents? What do you think the book will be about?
D. Discuss reading strategies students can use to help them read. Focus on comprehension strategies rather than on word meaning strategies. You might ask questions such as:
How will the pictures help you understand the text?
How does what you read connect to what you already know?
What can you do when you come to a word you do not understand?
What can you do if you don’t understand a part you have just read?
E. After reading the entire story, review the book and ask the following questions:
What kind of shop does Irma open?
What’s Irma’s sandwich shop called?
Where is Irma’s shop located?
What customer gets a sandwich named after him?
What was in Joey’s tallest sandwich?
Which sandwich would you rather eat?
Does Irma serve only humans? Who else does she serve?
What kind of sandwich did Sammy Snake want?
What did Val want on her sandwich?
Can you think of another sandwich that a snake or vulture might order?
ANALYSIS
Does Irma like to eat sandwiches? Why does she open a sandwich shop?
Do you think Irma has a good business? Why? Why not?
Have you ever been to a sandwich shop?
Would you like to own a sandwich shop?
Compare and contrast a sanwich shop or a fastfood chain that you have visited to that of Irma's Sandwich Shop.
ABSTRACTION
Can you think of a more challenging sandwich that Irma might make?
Could this be a true story? Why?
Based on the story, what can you conclude about Irma's Sandwich Shop?
APPLICATION
Writing Connection
Using the sandwich descriptions in the book, have students design a menu for Irma’s Sandwich Shop. Explain to them that each sandwich that was described must be in the menu. They can assign prices and pictures if they wish. If possible, show them some sample menus to assist their designs.
Social Studies Connection
Does every country or culture have sandwiches? Sandwiches are more common in some countries than in others.The history of the sandwich can be attributed to John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich, the British first lord of the Admiralty during the American Revolution (1776–81) and the man for whom the sandwich was named.If you have access to any books about foods in other cultures or the history of the sandwich, share them with their classmates.
Science Connection
Rancid meat? Discuss why some animals can eat rancid meat, but humans shouldn’t. Although some children may have inadvertently eaten rancid food, talk about why foods go bad and what bacteria does to humans. If possible, invite a nutritionist or food inspector to speak to the group about food that is not fit for human consumption.
Art Connection
Design a class sandwich collage. From old magazines or from colored paper, have students cut and paste sandwiches that they would enjoy. Have students name their sandwiches. Display them on a bulletin board.
Math Connection
Have students count up the number of days in a school year. Pose the question: "If everyone in the class had a sandwich for lunch on every school day, how many sandwiches would we eat?" Encourage students to work together and find out the answer. If possible, weigh a sandwich and find out how much sandwich "weight" the class would eat in a day, a week, a year, etc.
Home Connection
Send a copy of the story to read with parents and siblings. Ask students to find out each person’s favorite sandwich in the story. Tell them to find out the real favorite sandwich of each person at home. Have them make the sandwich for someone!
