Vocabulary and the Common Core


One of my favorite books on teaching vocabulary across the K-12 spectrum is this book: Vocabulary for the Common Core by Marzano and Simms.  If you are looking for a book that lays out tier two (general academic) vocabulary and tier three (content specific) vocabulary that is necessary for unpacking the common core across the grade levels, this is a worthwhile $30 investment.  There are a lot of lists in the book, but there are also a lot of great ideas.  Chapter two lays out steps for teaching vocabulary that helps students access meanings of words at their deepest level.  It unpacks what definitions do and do not provide, and how it is critical that we dive deeper into what words are suggesting, how they are used, and how they connect to other concepts. There are straight forward activities, including several pages of game ideas that will teach vocabulary while hitting on other standards (like listening and speaking).  I highly recommend it.

  7. Migraines usually occur in women when they are approaching menstruation and during menopause. During menstruation, the sudden drop in estrogen also triggers migraines. Hormonal changes may be brought about by birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy . Migraines are usually worse between puberty and menopause since the estrogen imbalance typically doesn't occur in young girls and post-menopausal women.

  8. Several medications may be prescribed for people during a migraine attack, such as opioid pain medications, triptans intended to block neural Pain Management paths to the brain, and even anti-nausea drugs. These drugs can be effective, but all of them can come with undesirable side effects.
