(1) Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to:

• (A) determine the meaning of technical academic English words in multiple content areas (e.g., science, mathematics, social studies, the arts) derived from Latin, Greek, or other linguistic roots and affixes;

• (B) analyze textual context (within a sentence and in larger sections of text) to draw conclusions about the nuance in word meanings;

• (C) use the relationship between words encountered in analogies to determine their meanings (e.g., synonyms/antonyms, connotation/denotation);

• (D) analyze and explain how the English language has developed and been influenced by other languages; and

• (E) use general and specialized dictionaries, thesauri, histories of language, books of quotations, and other related references (printed or electronic) as needed.
