This document provides information about building background knowledge using the SIOP model and the history and current state of education in South Africa. It discusses South Africa's apartheid system and how it disadvantaged black students through segregation and enforcing different languages of instruction. Today, South African students in townships still face unequal educational opportunities. The document then outlines strategies from the SIOP model to build background knowledge, such as teaching vocabulary, providing meaningful experiences, and introducing conceptual frameworks. It also describes Marzano's characteristics for effective vocabulary instruction and lists activities students can do to further develop their vocabulary knowledge.
