They still don’t know all the answers, but they know much about how a volcano works. Our planet is made up of many layers of rock. The top layers of solid rock are called the crust. Deep beneath the crust is the mantle, where it is so hot that some rock melts. The melted, or molten, rock is called magma. Volcanoes are formed when magma pushes its way up through the crack in the Earth’s crust. This is called a volcanic eruption. When magma pours forth on the surface, it is called lava.

Red Words are Tier 2 Green Words are Tier 3 How Many Words? • In school settings, students can be explicitly taught a deep understanding of about 300 words each year. • Divided by the range of content students need to know (e.g., math, science, history, literature), of these 300–350 words, roughly 60 words can be taught within one subject area each year. • It is reasonable to teach thoroughly about five to ten words per week. (Marzano, Beck, and Chall ) Vocabulary Casserole Ingredients Needed: 20 words no one has ever heard before in his life 1 dictionary with very confusing definitions 1 matching test to be distributed by Friday 1 teacher who wants students to be quiet on Mondays copying words Put 20 words on chalkboard. • Have students copy then look up in dictionary. • Make students write all the definitions. • For a little spice, require that students write words in sentences. • Leave alone all week. • Top with a boring test on Friday.

Student will identify areas of responsibility in personal appearance. 2. Students will identify appropriate and inappropriate dress, appearance. 3. Student is expected to choose appropriate garments for various social situations. 4. Student will be able to observe his or her own appearance and determine if acceptable. 5. Student will be able to observe the appearance of others to determine if acceptable. 6. Student is expected to choose and identify from pictures which examples of appearance are socially acceptable. C Layer Key daily topics use prompts as needed, augmentative communication devices, one to one training and small group strategy teaching. Daily one to one training [or small group training with higher level] Assignment Choices: [some students require physical assistance here] Each day present 2 activities to student for choice. Keep a checklist record of choice activities for each child and rotate activities so by Friday each student has done most activities. 1. Watch videotaped illustrations of presentable appearance, and unacceptable appearance. [These can be commercial or your taped videos of different people.] 2. Students create clothing 'ensembles' to dress paper dolls -student chooses articles of clothing to dress appropriately dressing paper dolls as examples and next communicates with teacher as to where their dolls might be going when dressed this way. 3. Language Master: students choose what to wear to one of these social events; a party, going to church, baseball game, school, add your own ideas. [ tape the clothing words on cards and attach pictures to language master cards.] 4. Match picture and words cards with set of Barbie/Ken dolls dressed for various occasions. 5. Choose and listen to a tape recorded story of dressing up for specific occasions, birthdays, church, dances, the movies, working on the farm, etc. [have 4 or 5 on tape.] 6.

Sort clothes for washing, into whites, and colors piles, or into tops and bottoms piles, and name them as you sort. 8. Name label each article of clothing in the clothes basket with a name card, or picture. B Layer Note: Use prompting only if needed. The way others dress 1. Teacher dresses differently each day, depicting different social and work situations. Students guess/decide what activity the teacher is dressed for, where she is going, what she will do there. 2. Students go throughout the school building and take pictures of others students and adults. Then back in class print out or use on computer and critique dress of others and record if they were appropriately attired for school and work or their outfit was not appropriate for school or work. [Be sure to get PE coach and café workers] 3. Selecting clothes for another person. Students select an appropriate outfit for someone else, from a clothes basket collection, of like or similar colors, complementary colors, and colors they would like that other person to wear, to complete an outfit suitable to wear out to a social event. [Name/ID, colors and pieces of clothing] 4. The chosen partner student dresses up using clothes outfit chosen, then asks another persons opinion, Am I dressed appropriately, what do you think? A Layer Choose and modify according to student Teacher: Use a digital camera to record student dress everyday for the previous week. The way I dress. 1. Ask the student to look at what he or she is currently wearing.[today] Are you dressed well today? Tell/show me two places it would be appropriate to wear this outfit. [some students will use pictures to communicate answers here.] Where else could you wear this outfit? 2. Go to computer and show student their dress from the pictures you took everyday last week.
