ACTIVATE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

BEGIN A KWL CHART about markets.

Give students two to three minutes to write as many things as they can about
what they know about markets where they or their families shop. Record what
students know on the KWL chart.
Give students two minutes to write three questions that would help them find
out about markets in Africa. Record questions on the KWL chart. Add
a question of your own.
Tell students that, as they read, they should look for the answers to their
questions and note any new information to add to the chart.

Introduce Vocabulary

WORD MEANING CHART

Create a word meaning chart for the Words to Know, using the categories Word,
Meaning, and Sentence. Use a three-column chart (Graphic Organizer 26). Have
students write meanings for each word, based on what they think it means. Then
have them write a sentence for each word. They should underline the Words to
Know in their sentences. Students should share where they may have seen some
of these words.

Graphic Organizer 26

Have students look up each word in the glossary to verify that their meanings are
correct. If not, they should write a new sentence using the correct meaning. Glossary

Ask what these words have in common: errands, unwrapped, wobbled, bundles,
arranged. (They all have word endings.) Endings

Encourage students to use the words in their writing during the week.
