How do I help a struggling student in my content area?
 * build up the students' background knowledge
 * provide repeated exposure to important terms--helps understanding by using it in different contexts
 * give examples of the words real life situations--make it relate-able for the students
 * allow them to learn terms through performance and practice
 * vocabulary lessons for brick terms before we start lessons on a certain concepts--"if students are unable to read and comprehend the key materials of a content area course, their ability to learn the skills and concepts of that subject is severely hampered"
