What do you need to Know?

By Mr. Palmer

Step 1: This is the know page.

The know page represents basic knowledge, facts, and ideas. The internet, encyclopedia, dictionary, and textbooks all represent resources of knowledge while vocabulary is the main component. If you have large vocabulary then you have a large database of knowledge.

To test your knowledge questions will typically be:

  • multiple choice
  • fill in the blank
  • true and false
  • matching

In most cases the testing of knowledge does not measure how smart you are just how much information that you have been able to store in your vocabulary database and how well you are able to retrieve that knowledge. Things that can help you to learn more knowledge are the following:

  • read and study
  • use word association or use name games
  • create a song
  • draw pictures associated with vocabulary (physically and mentally)
  • other activities that might help you

So now that you have a better understanding of the know page you can check out some of the examples below and move onto the understand and do pages.

Step 2: Visit the Understand Page

Step 3: Visit the Do Page

Read and Study:

Read with Purpose

    -if available look at pictures first.
    -as you read think about why you are reading.
    -finally have a notebook and write down vocabulary and a definition.

Word Association Examples:

 
An example from Earth Science:
 
-layers of atmosphere -play on words
 
  :troposphere   :tropical
 
  :stratosphere   :strawberries
 
  :mesosphere   :mixed
 
  :thermosphere   :then
 
  exosphere   :explode
