A second-grade teacher is using the following passage to teach her students about wolf spiders during
her unit on desert environments. She wants to use the passage for an explicit vocabulary lesson but is
unsure which words to choose for her students, half of which are multilingual learners. Read the passage
and then answer the true/false questions below.
Wolf Spiders
Wolf spiders are large, hairy, and live all over the world. Wolf spiders that live in the desert hunt at night to
protect themselves from the extremely hot ground. During the day, the desert wolf spider lives under rocks
or builds its own burrow or hole in the ground. Wolf spiders do not spin webs, but they do line their
burrows with silk. Female wolf spiders can lay more than 100 eggs. She protects the eggs in a silk egg sack. The egg sack
is attached to her abdomen, and she carries the eggs around until they hatch. When the baby spiders
hatch, they cling to their mother for a few days. If you ever see a female wolf spider carrying an egg sack, don’t try to step on it! You will get a big
surprise when 100 babies rush out at you!

Question 1
The teacher might choose the Tier 2 word desert
to teach explicitly
because it has a Spanish cognate that is pronounced nearly the same as
the English word (
desierto)
, and she knows that students will be learning
about deserts later in science.
True - Teaching cognates is a highly effective method for teaching new
vocabulary to multilingual learners.
False - The word is almost the same in the student’s first language, so it is
likely he or she already knows it.
20 / 20 pts
Question 2
The teacher should teach the Tier 3 word abdomen
because many
animals, including most insects have abdomens.
True - Choose words that are important to understanding the text but are
transferable to other contexts. Humans and other vertebrates have
abdomens as well as insects.
False - Because humans have abdomens, children will eventually hear this
word in conversation and learn it incidentally (like at a doctor’s office).
20 / 20 pts
Question 3
The teacher should explicitly teach the Tier 3 word burrow
because it is
important for understanding this passage.
True - Burrow is not a commonly used word in text or speech, but it appears
in this passage two times. Therefore, its meaning is important for
understanding the passage.
False - Burrow is not a commonly used word in text or speech, and it is
clearly defined in the sentence as a “hole in the ground.” This definition is
sufficient for student comprehension of the passage.
20 / 20 pts
Question 4
The teacher should explicitly teach the word surprise
.
True - The word surprise is a Tier 1 word, but since there is a Spanish
cognate (sorpresa), the teacher should explicitly teach it.
False -The word surprise and its Spanish cognate sorpresa are Tier 1 words
in both languages, so the teacher might point out during the reading that
surprise means sorpresa for English learners and then move on.
