To teach these terms, I will use a combination of direct instruction, modeling, and hands-on activities. I will start by introducing each term and providing a clear definition and example. I will then model how to use the terms in context by analyzing a short story or passage together as a class. Students will also have opportunities to practice using the terms in their own writing and discussions. Additionally, I will provide visual aids, such as anchor charts or graphic organizers, to help students visually organize and understand the vocabulary.
