Great vocabulary activity! I chose 5 of our wordly wise words. Groups of 2-3 wrote each word on a note card (the bricks) and arranged them so that they made sense. Then they added connecting words and/or sentence in between. Supported better sentences and thinking than when we just ask them to write a paragraph with 5 of their words.

Sheri and I used this activity to structure conversation about story elements. We focused on a different conversation moves each day, to talk about setting, character, and theme.

I will use virtual field trips to increase background knowledge before reading.

This is a useful activity to use with introduction of any lesson to get students excited about what is to come.  They are able to see how a handful of pictures are related and use their problem solving skills to try and figure it out.  This could lead into great discussion about why students think they are related and why other students might disagree.

I could use the vocab go fish to review science vocabulary words, the students already write their words and definitions so this would be an extension activity to further practice/ study the words.

We use word walls with pictures to represent the words. It has been helpful for students to visualize the meaning of unfamiliar words

Anticipation Guide                     I love this activity to introduce a new text.  You can see a glimpse of their background knowledge of the subject and it teaches them to support their answers  through evidence in the text.  It gives the students a purpose for reading and encourages them to be active readers.

Draw an Idiom                             I have used this activity in the classroom and students love this. This is a great activity to illustrate both the literal and figurative meanings of idioms of their choice. Students also include a written explanation to deepen their understanding. This makes a great bulletin board.  Figurative language is very difficult for ELL and lower level students and this activity aids in their understanding.

I plan to use this activity more in science this year. I like that it gives everybody a job. So many times you group up kids and then there's always one who seems to do everything. But with this activity, each person has a job and they all contribute and have to be prepared.

I really liked this activity when we did it as a staff. I also think that it would be very beneficial if you were to get a new student who is from another country. You could pair them up with another student in the classroom that could help that kid around the school, classroom rules, etc.

To increase reading proficiency, I would use this activity with new vocabulary terms. This is a great activity to develop academic language.

I plan to use this during my geometry unit.  Students are given a vocabulary word and have to describe it without saying the word.  This would be great to practice describing the attributes of the different polygons, and adds a game-like feeling if you have other students guess the word they are describing.

We really need to work on vocabulary. This game could be played with pictures or synonyms or as a cloze activity. I can see so many possibilities for enriching day to day and academic vocabulary.

I think I would like to take a sentence that a student wrote and cut it apart for them to sequence. If they could do that without noticing the missing words or the syntax errors, then I would give them the sentence that has been written correctly and cut up. It would be interesting to see how they contrast the two examples.

I am definitely going to use this with a recent TFK magazine I got with an article about taking back national park land. This is a great article with two perspectives to be taken.

I would use this when introducing a new unit or chapter. For example, I would show a picture of a certain ecosystem and ask the students for their perspective. What comes to their mind? What do they see?

I use this in social studies and science integrated within reading. Students read about a topic in small groups and answer comprehension questions. Each group reads about a different topic within a single theme. After reading and taking notes, students prepare for a presentation designed to teach their classmates about their topics.

After reading a story, teacher and students will discuss the characters and characteristics of each.

Instruct students to choose a character that they feel has the same characteristics as themselves.

Students will write the name of the character and list 1-3 (depending on student’s level) characteristics that they have in common using the sentence frame:

I am like (character) because we are both _______ and _______.

I use this in my reading click. Towards the end of the two weeks of studying the words, I have the students choose at least five words from the set that have a connection of theme. Once the words have been chosen, the students create a story based on the words.

I think this activity would be a great one to use with the Wordly Wise words. After a week of learning the words, I think it would benefit the whole class to use context clues and apply the words to different meanings of sentences

I think this would be a great way to introduce any topic in Media. It encourages the students to use context clues and to infer. They are using basic research skills to clarify their thinking.

In my room, I have an alphabet word wall that the children use when they are not sure how to spell a word. They find the beginning letter and pull the card out and hand it to me. I then have them tell me the word they would like to spell and we sound it out together. I then write the word down.
