Build a Conduct Word Family
Choose the correct word form for a scientific sentence.
A completed model
Conduct is a verb; conduction is a process noun; conductor names a material or object in the relevant context. “Copper is a good conductor” differs from “Copper conducts electricity.”
Conduct
Conduction
Conductor
Original teaching example; adapt the subject context and check prior understanding.
Teach the language move
- Sort the three words by their job in an example sentence.
- Explain how the ending changes the word’s grammatical role.
- Choose the form that fits a new sentence and its meaning.
- Write one original sentence and check scientific accuracy.
Preparation
Display the short model and prepare a fresh transfer example. Establish any subject vocabulary needed before focusing on the language move.
Use it in your next lesson
Give the original model, then ask learners to complete the organiser using their own wording. Discuss one difference between paired responses before the individual check.
Your response organiser
Check independent transfer
Use a fresh word family and require an explanation of the form chosen.
Record what the learner did without a model, prompt or partner. Keep an example of the response for planning.
Teacher language
Do we need the action, process or material here?
Follow up without supplying the answer
Ask the learner to point to the evidence, explain their word choice or identify the missing information. Allow thinking time before inviting a revised response.
Feedback focus
First check the subject meaning. Then address one language choice that affects that meaning; ask for a fresh use rather than repeated copying.
Adjust support and challenge
More support: read the model aloud, offer a small word bank and allow familiar-language notes or partner rehearsal before an English response. Keep the reasoning goal.
Less support: remove the completed organiser, change the evidence or audience and ask for an independently justified response.
Age and proficiency: the example is designed for secondary subject learning. Use a simpler familiar context with younger learners; an English proficiency label alone does not determine the subject demand.
