tier 1 and tier 2 words are used to frontload 20% of the vocabulary;
(2) During the Exploration phase, the other 80% of the vocabulary is
introduced and formalized using tier 3 words for discussion, questions and
answers, use of notebooks, and word walls;
(3) During the Elaboration activity, students use the newly formalized tier
3 words as they engage with the phenomena; and
(4) Finally, in the summative evaluation, both the conceptual and related
tier 3 vocabulary is assessed to measure student learning.
