    I like to use this dictionary and the dictionary of "student-friendly" definitions. Never think that you have to reinvent the wheel Merriam-Webster already did for you. Look for links to the English-Language Learners Dictionary and the Kids' Dictionary in the m-w.com standard entries for "student-friendly" definitions.

  • We all want our students to demonstrate newly learned concepts with the words they know as they discuss, write, and visually represent specific topics.
  • In fact, teaching vocabulary in the content areas of mathematics, science, history, and English is not a separate entity from teaching the core understandings of each domain. As Vacca and Vacca (2008) have always stated, words are labels for concepts, and so teaching vocabulary is actually teaching about the ideas they represent.
  • Therefore, in regard to teaching words in any content area, we need to keep in mind that different students will have different levels of understanding about a term and will internalize new information through each successive engagement with the term.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Words representing concepts are not taught in a vacuum, but rather in contexts that illustrate how they are associated with other words and ideas. This feature of word knowledge is at the heart of effective content-area teaching and critical to vocabulary building.
  • These examples show how words and their meanings are intricately related to each other and how these relationships are tied to conceptual understanding. It is important then to help students understand these relationships and connections.
  • We must be very cognizant of how students might interpret a word definition that makes sense to us but may be misleading and confusing to those with less background knowledge.
  • Broadly defined learning opportunities include the incorporation of wide reading in content classes as well as word consciousness. Reading widely about a topic across a variety of texts provides students with multiple exposures to newly learned words along with opportunities for incidental word learning to occur.
  • In addition, broad learning opportunities include the development of word consciousness or awareness, where students learn habits of attending to new and interesting vocabulary that will enable them to acquire appropriate language for communicating in particular content areas (Scott, Skobel, & Wells, 2008; Stahl & Nagy, 2006).
  • by promoting an awareness and enthusiasm for learning new words.
  • The steps include preparation, explanation, application, and reinforcement (P.E.A.R.).
  • Too many targeted words can be overwhelming to students, especially those who struggle with reading.
  • student-friendly definitions
  • Such responses are more indicative of learning. Other activities for relating, connecting, clarifying, and applying word meanings are described in Instructional Strategies for Teaching Content Vocabulary, Grades 4–12 (Harmon, Wood, & Hedrick, 2006).

    I thought this would be good for anyone teaching or learning about circuits. It can be difficult to arrange field trips depending upon your school systems. This allows you to provide your students these learning opportunities without the difficulties of an actual field trips.

  • These methods mean that assessment is no longer done to students, but with them, putting the focus on the student and learning.
  • Although students are awarded grades, they are rewarded through being at their best and coached through their challenges.

  • I want to make sure that all of my students succeed, so I must know those goals for all students.
  • "Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas, concepts, and information through the selection, organization, and analysis of relevant content." "Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience." "Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility of each source, and quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and providing basic bibliographic information for sources."
  • Whether those are Common Core State Standards or other important district- or school-level objectives and outcomes, we must make sure that our units of instruction are aligned to them.

      These standards have to be incorporated into your entire school year for students to receive enough practice to master them. Feedback on the little things like warm up responses should have impact on the larger pieces of writing. LIGHT BULB IDEA have students rewrite responses from warm-ups and read them out loud to a partner. Have them do it the old way once, then the new way.

      Explaining a concept in writting is a higher-order thinking skill. A student can demostrate learning through writing an explanation. teachers have to give students enough sustenance to build knowlegde upon to own the concept.
  • . Student Ownership of Assessment Process
  • "How do advertisers trick us?"
  • Even though there was choice in the written products, there was a common, standards-aligned rubric that could be used to assess all the products to ensure that all students were meeting the same outcomes.

  • In fact, students were able to show some of their content knowledge as well as speaking and listening standards around collaboration and effective presentation.
  • Performance assessments like these allow us to check not only for engagement, but also for deeper learning through 21st-century skills.

Larry Ferlazzo, Teacher - 1 views

  • One game is calling out a question to answer or a word or sentence to spell, giving the groups twenty or thirty seconds to write the answer (and telling them not to raise their board until I say time is up), and then having them show me the answer.  The groups with the correct answer get a point.   This way everyone has an opportunity to score a point, not just the first one with the answer.  I’ll sometimes end this game, and others, with an opportunity for each team to bet all or part of their points on the last question (like in “Final Jeopardy”).

    Ferlazzo has a list of games ideas the are a marvel. His basic requirements is that the games require no money, little teacher prep work, and every students has to be involved. I was impressed. I think I know how our students can review for the unit test. Ferlazzo says these are easily modified for other content areas. I thought they be the perfect way to review vocabulary.
