The website ReadThinkWrite was really important for me to see.

I learned so many different strategies that I can use to help teach vocabulary! These are all great for both ESL students and native speakers and really break down the importance of vocabulary to full understanding of a unit.

Today I learned about the value of emphasizing and constantly exposing ELL students to key vocab and academic language. By introducing students to vocab before diving into a lesson, it can help understanding and help them to better understand unknown words when they come across them.

Front loading vocab can help the vocab stick for everyone.

Utilizing front loading in my history classroom will be extremely useful and can help greatly improve the students understanding of the material.

Today it was really emphasized to pre-teach vocabulary words needed for the lesson. I really liked watching the teacher who pre-taught the vocab for her unit and the strategies she used, like acting it out or relating it to something they already know.

My understanding of vocabulary has been impacted by todays lesson by teaching me about front loading and how important it is to teach the students for the beginning of a lesson.

One strategy that I learned about from the video was when the teacher started out with having only a select amount of words on cards and having them say those words and use them in sentences in their own words. Using their own words helps them understand it more and build a knowledge for the words.

I am really excited to use the read.write.think website to locate different activity ideas that align with strategies that differentiate my lesson and support ELLs.

Using the website readwritethink.org, my group discovered the teaching strategy 'trading cards' which I think is a fun and unique way to introduce and teach vocabulary to the students.

During the video we watched today there was many examples of demonstrating the vocabulary and for teaching art I feel this is the most fluid, and universal method of teaching art. Sometime it seems very easy in art to achieve these TEKS and ELPS but it is just a craft that takes a lot of thinking.

One thing I learned about academic vocabulary is utilizing a graffiti board to further develop EL vocabulary skills. Using this resource would be especially helpful with beginning and intermediate students to appeal to the visual context clues.
