Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise

Purposeful and Transparent Students are using skills necessary for real life and passing the GED -- building vocabulary, reading and comprehending non-fiction text. Contextual Students are concerned about the quality of their drinking water. Students may need to read non-fiction text outside the classroom for their roles as family members, workers, and community members. Building Expertise Students will practice using a flowchart to understand the steps in a process. Students will practice reading non-fiction text. Students have been building their vocabularies by systematically being given 10 new words a week.
