Students were able to use the Vocabulary LINCing Routine to analyze unfamiliar vocabulary with a new thematic unit and short story vocabulary. Students liked the LINCing story and the fact that the definition was provided. A challenge for students was finding the reminding word for the indicated vocabulary term. I had to cue students and offer help with the reminding word. Next time I will brainstorm reminding words and offer a word bank for students to choose from.
