Certain content areas like math and science are harder to drill vocab, so anything to make knowledge/studying/creativity more engaging is great!

I really enjoyed seeing all the types of assessment that people included in their showcase. I'm not currently in the classroom, so it was helpful to see what current teachers are using for assessment!

I think that before this unit, I used to think that vocabulary had to be taught in addition to the unit, but I now see how it can be taught alongside and commonplace with the units we're teaching. The games were fun, and everything that I learned has practical classroom engagement strategies.

I think the sentence guide is a great tool to foster connections between ideas and vocabulary words and to encourage students to think beyond the definition and actually put each word into practice and into context.

I liked the games we played for vocabulary. I think they will be very useful in the classroom. I never realized that there were so many creative ways to teach vocabulary. I liked seeing ways people used them for social studies. I liked the paint chip idea to expand vocabulary. It would be great to use when students are writing a paper.

I enjoyed playing the games and will definitely incorporate I have/ Who has in my classes.

The conversation game was a big hit. I was certainly use it the future.

That are a lot more methods than I thought to teach vocabulary, which is very beneficial for students that struggle with general memorization and recall

I am really into all of the vocab games that we tried in class tonight, but I think that I find the Conversation Game most engaging and most helpful. I also loved the idea of using paint chips to connect words

They seem like a great way to preview the vocabulary in the unit. It also helps the teacher know how in depth to go.

I took away many strategies from class that I wanted to use with my lessons in the future. I also see that no matter how many strategies there are, we should always find a way to modify, adapt, or tailor them to your classes.

I loved the paint chip idea the best-- it's a cheap and easy way to decorate a classroom and a great way to see synonyms/antonyms clearly since they can get jumbled or overwhelming.
The flip books and pop-up books were great for this reason, too, but more so as things students could take with them and add to throughout a unit.
The pop-up games also gave me great ideas since I'm in a class that doesn't get to move a lot or even speak up, so this is a great way to reach the talkative/active students and give the quiet students scripted things to say to ease speaking/standing up.

I loved some classmates' original graphic designers...people got so creative!

I really like the ways that games are used to bring vocabulary from the curriculum and into everyday conversation. The conversation game is really cool for students that can think quickly, and the paint chips are really engaging for students to think more critically about words.

I think that the games were a helpful way to demonstrate teaching vocabulary in practice. Often the most daunting part of vocabulary instruction is not necessary theory but practice.

I really liked the conversation game and the I have who has game. I can see those working well to break up the class instruction and get students thinking creatively. I also really liked the idea of popup books and comics. I've seen dioramas, but the popup books are compact and useful which is fun!

I really liked all the different games we played in class today, especially the "I have... who has..." game. I remember playing that when I was younger, and I completely forgot about it. I will definitely need to find a way to incorporate that into the classroom.

Pre- assessments are a great way to help teachers pick which words they need to teach to their students and access prior knowledge.

I liked the strategies in which the students were made to interact with each other. I think this deepens the level of engagement.

I like the vocabulary games we practiced and discussed in class today.  Not only were they engaging but they will also help students develop a deeper knowledge of vocabulary.  I particularly liked the conversation game!

The best Vocabulary Showcases I saw tonight really focused on the progression between the three steps: anticipating, developing and culminating; especially in how to build bridges between these three steps. In terms of how to build these bridges, I really liked how many of them utilized Frayer charts.

Replicating opening and closing activity

From looking at other activities and comparing them to my own I realized that the use of the same activity for the pre-teach/launch and the assessment can be the same activity. In hindsight I realized I actually did this for my launch but then didn't talk about it in my presentation. The takeaway for my students is that they get to see how much easier the activity is when they have a effective vocabulary to use.

I liked using a Frayer model, especially for science where non-examples can be so crucial.

I like the variations on the Frayer model.  The multiple modes of building knowledge is great.
