Vocabulary Purpose
- "Words are great subjects to investigate. When you become a student of language, and delight in discovering word relationships, and become aware of how you can make words work for you, you are more likely to stop when you encounter an unfamiliar word and consider its meaning. If you do this, you will become a master of words and your vocabulary will grow. You must develop strategies to conquer unfamiliar words when you find them in your college textbooks and in your learning to make words work for you." Reference: Cuesta College
- My values and beliefs in the knowledge and retention of vocabulary are stated perfectly in the following statement by Cuesta College. "Vocabulary building takes patience and continued effort. Your vocabulary can and should be a reflection of you. Your vocabulary is you. And like you, your vocabulary should be alive. It should change and grow to meet your needs."
Marzano's Purpose
- Dr. Robert J. Marzano is the author of Building Academic Vocabulary: Teacher's Manual. He states the book contains a six-step process for teaching vocabulary terms so students develop deep understandings of the terms. It gives examples of fun and engaging activities and games that help students add to their knowledge of vocabulary terms as they review and play with the terms they have recorded in their student notebooks.
- Marzano is also famous for his research reports done on statistical analysis. The reports describe the findings for an analysis of data provided by the Re-Inventing Schools Coalition (RISC). This tool is based on a continuum that describes specific levels of implementation. It is broken into 6 key levels:
• Awareness
• Understanding
• 1st Implementation
• Routine
• Refinement
• Replication

The 6 steps are Marzano's right? You might want to put the 6 steps along with the information on Marzano. That way it flows a little better and you know exactly who created the 6 steps. I really like your vocabulary words. You have great words and definitions which are easy to follow and understand.
