Answer to Question 1

Answers should include information about selecting words (interest, usefulness, key words), activating background knowledge, awakening interest and enthusiasm for words, relating experience to vocabulary learning, using technology to teach vocabulary, and making strategies into games

Answer to Question 2

Answers should include information about the six principles that guide vocabulary instruction: selecting words that children will encounter while reading literature and content material; teaching words in relation to other words; teaching students to relate words to their background knowledge; teaching words before, during, and after reading; teaching words systematically and in depth; and awakening interest and enthusiasm for words.
