Glossary Support for SLA.5.7.F

respond

provide a verbal or written reaction to something that is read, viewed, written, or heard

respond using newly acquired vocabulary

Students learn new terms not only to increase their vocabulary, but also to change the way they understand the world around them. Words are linked to certain domains and concepts. By using newly acquired vocabulary, students expand their knowledge about objects, events, and processes. Scientific terms like cumulus, cirrus, or stratus provide a new perspective in the study of clouds, for example. The use of specific vocabulary allows students to make more detailed analysis.
