Also, provide at the end of the simulation what or how you feel about this teaching strategy – could you use in your content area class? How can teachers provide more effective vocabulary instruction – cite the information presented in the simulation. Why or why not would these strategies work? If not, provide an alternate, research based strategy that you have used. References at the end of your assignment is appropriate.
