Vocabulary pre-teaching selection for a text with heavy jargon

I'm assigning the text below to grade_level students and I know some vocabulary will block comprehension if I don't pre-teach it. Help me choose wisely, not just list every unfamiliar word. Text: text_excerpt Do this: 1. Identify words/terms likely to block comprehension for this grade level, then split them into two groups: words essential to understanding the text's MAIN idea (must pre-teach) versus words that appear but aren't load-bearing for the core meaning (students can infer from context or skip without losing the thread, don't pre-teach these, it wastes instructional time and over-scaffolds). 2. For each essential word, write a brief, grade-appropriate definition, plus one example sentence using it in a context DIFFERENT from the assigned text, so students learn the concept, not just recognize it in this one sentence. 3. For 2-3 of the non-essential words, briefly note what context clue in the text a student could actually use to infer meaning, so I can point students toward using that skill rather than assuming they need it defined. 4. Suggest a quick pre-teaching format that takes under 5 minutes total (not a full vocabulary lesson) appropriate for the number of essential words identified. 5. Flag if any single word is so central that misunderstanding it would cause a student to misread the text's main argument entirely, that one deserves extra emphasis beyond just a quick definition.

Reading comprehension question set that targets different cognitive levels

Generate reading comprehension questions for the passage below, deliberately spanning different cognitive levels, not all questions at the same shallow recall level. Passage: passage_text Grade level: grade_level Generate questions across these levels, labeled explicitly: 1. Literal recall (2 questions): answer is directly stated in the text, tests basic reading, not the point of the exercise but a necessary baseline. 2. Inference (2-3 questions): answer requires connecting information the text implies but doesn't state directly, specify what textual clues a student should use to arrive at the answer. 3. Analysis (2 questions): requires examining HOW the text achieves an effect (word choice, structure, perspective), not just what it says. 4. Evaluation/synthesis (1-2 questions): requires the student to form and support a judgment, or connect the passage to a broader idea, with a clear expectation that this must be text-supported, not just opinion. For each inference and analysis question, note what a student might answer if they only skimmed rather than actually understood, so I can distinguish genuine comprehension from lucky guessing when grading.
