Semantic web - Answer-Visual representation of the relationships among words related
to the text's subjects. This in turn enhances student's understanding of the word's
nuances of meaning.
Domain specific vocabulary - Answer-Language or word choice that is directly related to
the class for which you are writing. For example, if you are writing a literary analysis
essay for English, words like "theme," "symbolism," and "juxtaposition" would be great
examples. In science, however, those words would not be as relevant- instead, you
might use words like "scientific method" and "molecular."

probably practice this every day. For example, if you see someone eating a new food
and he or she makes a face, then you ____ he does not like it

purpose of either entertainment or education. A key factor in connecting students to
fiction is the presence of characters that are relevant to student's personal experience.
Book study - Answer-An in depth talk about a book conducted by a teacher. Similar to a
book talk.
Conversational turn-taking - Answer-A a type of organization in conversation and

and transitioning to a different speaker, using a variety of linguistic and non-linguistic
cues.

, Contextual analysis - Answer-An analysis of a text (in whatever medium, including multi-
media) that helps us to assess that text as it connects to its historical and cultural
setting, but also in terms of its textuality - or the qualities that characterize the text as a
text.
Idiomatic expressions - Answer-An expression in the usage of a language that is
peculiar to itself either grammatically (such as no, it wasn't me) or in having a meaning
that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements (such as ride herd
on for "supervise")
Three Part Model - Answer-1 Qualitative Measures
The qualitative measures of text complexity requires an informed judgment on the
difficulty of the text by considering a range of factors. The Standards use purpose or
levels of meaning, structure, language conventionality and clarity, as well as the
knowledge demands as measures of text difficulty.
Rubrics have been developed for both literacy and informational texts that include
descriptors for:
• Layout
• Purpose and meaning
• Text structure
• Language features
• Knowledge demands
2 Quantitative Measures
Quantitative measures of text complexity use factors such as sentence and word length
and the frequency of unfamiliar words to calculate the difficulty of the text, assigning a
single measure (grade level equivalent, number, Lexile etc). There are many formulas
to calculate text difficulty and, while they provide a guide, the readability or difficulty
level of a text can vary depending on which formulas or measures are used.
Grade band equivalents
Lexile levels
3 Reader and Task
The third measure looks at what the student brings to the text and the tasks that are
assigned. Teachers need to use their knowledge of their students and texts to match
texts to particular students and tasks.
Inflections - Answer-The modification of a word to express different grammatical
categories such as tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender, and mood.
Derivations - Answer-The process of forming a new word from an existing word, often
by adding a prefix or suffix, such as -ness or un-. For example, happiness and unhappy
come from the root word happy.
Compound words - Answer-Made up of two or more smaller words that are combined to
make a new word with its own meaning. The smaller words that form this type of word
are like puzzle pieces you fit together to create a new bigger picture. Take the words
milk and shake. If we fit these pieces together, we get the ______ word milkshake.
