Solution

The teacher should not do option D: Ask students to copy the definition word for word from the glossary in the back of the book. This method does not promote understanding or retention of new vocabulary. Instead, it encourages rote memorization, which is less effective for long-term learning. The other options involve active learning strategies that help students understand and remember the new words.
