5. Have you ever encountered something unexpectedly? Try to
use the word encountered when you tell about it. [Ask two or
three students. If necessary, guide and/or rephrase students’
responses: “Once, I encountered . . . ”]
6. What’s the word we’ve been talking about? What part of
speech is the word encountered?
Use a Making Choices activity for follow-up. Directions: I am going
to read several sentences. If the sentence describes someone who
encountered, or unexpectedly came upon something or someone,
say, “ encountered .” If the sentence describes
someone who planned, or expected, to come upon something or
someone, say, “That was planned.” [You may want to emphasize
that the difference will be if the meeting was planned or not.]
