Lesson 7 Word Knowledge

decide

•Discuss that decide means to make up one’s mind, make a decision.

• Explain the difference between the verb to decide and the noun decision. Write the words

decide and decision on a chart and discuss that when we decide on something, we have made

a decision.

• Role-play throughout the day, allowing the students to make decisions. For example, at snack

give the students two choices: goldfish crackers or graham crackers. Which will the students

decide to have? What was their decision? Have the students use the sentence, “I decided I

wanted _____ for snack.”

• Give lots of choices throughout the day and point out when someone has decided on s

omething or made a decision about something. As the teacher, you should model the language

you’d like from the students.

a good deal

• Ask the students to think of a situation where they think they got a good deal. Maybe it was a

time that they traded a computer game or videotape with a friend. They may feel that they got

a good deal because the one they traded away was old and not as exciting as they one they

got in return. Identify if a situation is a good deal or not.

• Explain that because of the good deal in the story, the problem was solved. Farmer Brown

thought that exchanging the typewriter for electric blankets was a good deal.

• Find and cut out advertisements for sales in the newspaper and ask the students if they feel

the sale price is a good deal. Make flashcards labeled “a good deal” and “not a good deal” and

have the students place the ad under the appropriate title.

• Explain that a good deal can have more than one meaning. It can also mean a lot, or large

amount. You can find a good deal of information in the encyclopedia or on the Internet. You

can have a good deal of food at a barbecue or party.

pond

•A body of water

•Discuss and list things found in a pond: frogs, tadpoles, fish, lily pads, ducks, water.

• Use an encyclopedia or the Internet to find plants and animals that live in or near a pond.

•Make a mural or collage of a pond and its surroundings. The students can draw or paint the

plants and animals found in or near the pond or use old magazine pictures to glue in place.
