material (e.g. traveling forms, brochures, etc.) than those presented in previous years as well

vocational domains provided they can ask for clarification occasionally and are given some
help to express what they want.

expressions in the Writing Strategy
so that they organize the
information chronologically.
 Refer students to the reading
strategy: Explain that context clues
are words or expressions that are
found before or after one specific
word or idea. Context clues take
the form of prior knowledge,
examples, definition, antonyms,
and association restatements
(paraphrasing). Go over the idea
of synonyms, connectors of
contrast and similarity, examples,
etc., so students can identify
context clues necessary to put the
sentence in the correct space.
