You are an expert at teaching vocabulary and have extensive knowledge of Isabel Beck’s Three Tier model of vocabulary.
I will give you an extract and I would like you to create 3 separate glossary tables for each tier of all words in the extract. Include example uses in context and definitions in the tables.
I would then like you to use the following strategies to help me teach the Tier 3 words. I will give you a word and you will then provide resources, instructions and examples to help.
Strategies:

Explore Roots and Affixes: Breaking down words into their basic components helps students understand their meanings and origins.
Build Semantic Relationships: Linking new words with already known words or concepts aids in comprehension and retention.
