After reading Repeating New Words Out Loud Isn't Always the Best Way to Learn Them I learned that having students just repeat new vocabulary words is not the best way to help them cognitively begin to understand the word. They must also listen to the word instead of just focusing on the production of the word. For me in the classroom, I incorporate this kind of strategy with new vocabulary when I use the flamingo strategy: pairing students up to say words and their meanings back and forth.

I can use Quizlet to pre-teach vocabulary about the water cycle to all students, not just our EBL. I would play this game in the classroom in groups so that students have opportunities to discuss content vocabulary.

After reading, I know that I can implement inferring dialogue and the difference between authentic inferences and observations. I will use the given powerpoint from the article and the usage of speech bubbles to teach correct quotations and to spark inference.

PD-Social Media We loved how @teachingwithamountainview did inferencing with photos . We will use activity to increase speaking in my classrooms. We think students using real life photos and having to ask questions or make inferences will really help them with their speaking and vocabulary.

I liked the Genre labels @therigorousowl had hanging in her classroom. I think my classroom and EB learners would benefit from a display of genres as we make connections to literature.

I will illustrate vocabulary for plot elements using canva. I chose this topic because they are difficult words to understand and put into context if they aren't used often and visible for learners to see.

Worked on creating items in Canva to display the words for colors in many languages. Learners can contribute to these documents over time and we can practice using different words in class as we refer to colors often. (CREATE)
Also read the article about the universal nature of the word "HUH!?" How funny! (READ)

We will make Pictionary Air available for our learners. We will embed speaking into our games by having responses relate to the content. Learners drawing will also give clues to help classmates. This will be great for speaking practice and review of content skills!

I enjoyed @teachingwithoutfrills and how authentic her classroom posters were. She used real photos for stations that helped students understand exactly what they were doing. I also got a great idea for a mystery shape game we can use going into our geometry.

I can use Scattergories to expand vocabulary using different topics with given letters. The way I would play this game in the classroom is in a small group setting. I would choose a letter and students would think of words that start with that letter. The subjects could be a color, a shape, a country or state, a sport etc.

I will make Taco Cat available for my learners. I will embed speaking into my games by allowing them to play after checkout.

Play 1- We can use Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza to teach symbols. The way we would play this game in the classroom is by creating cards with different symbols on them, possibly shapes and students have to say the names of the shapes instead of "Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza" it could be "Square, Circle, Triangle, Rectangle, Rhombus".

I can us this game to teach feelings identification. The way we would play this game in the classroom is by making feelings card with faces and descriptions. The learners have to call out emotions.  This is also a good exercise to practice calming strategies when frustrations arise.

I loved how teachingwithamountainview use a picture and wrote the open-ended question, What can I infer? Learners can share their ideas for me to write and/or they could write their ideas on the chart paper.

I used Canva to create a Human Body graphic that learners can match the organ to the vocabulary word.

I can use Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza to teach vocabulary. The way we would play this game in class is by changing the pictures and words with academic vocabulary. Kids would learn how to play the initial game, then we could change the symbols and words.

I played a game called "Don't Make Me Laugh" with Kathy. We liked doing silly things and learned that we could get learners out of their comfort zone.
I also read an article!

After reading, New Words Out Loud Isn't Always the Best Way to Learn Them, I learned that having students just repeat new vocabulary words is not the best way to help them cognitively begin to understand the word. Students must listen to the word instead of focusing on the production of the word. In the classroom I can have pair students up and have them repeat new vocabulary words (science) as well as the meaning of the words back and forth.

I will make Odd One Out available for my learned. I will embed speaking into my games by categorizing different instruments that students can identify and speak each instrument's name for their speaking practice. This will also familiarize themselves with the names of instruments.

I could change this game to match vocabulary my students are learning. For example, if I am working on different types of weather (sun, rain, snow, wind) I could make cards for each word. After playing, students could discuss each type of weather and the different attributes of each one. --Ashley K

Playing games is a great way to share and learn language in a fun no pressure way. Learners of all levels can share words and their meanings!

I can use Kahoot to teach parts of the human body. The way we would play this game is by learners connecting to my Kahoot with their Ipads. The questions would be pictures, or vocabulary descriptions. The learners would then choose from multiple choice answers, the correct choice. Most points wins!

We are now following @headoverhealsforteaching and we loved how she used sticky note posters so that everyone has the opportunity to share how their thinking. it can be used anywhere from social skills to academics. Students can share with a partner before hanging on the poster for a little 1:1 conversation.

We can use games to teach reading and listening skills. The we would play this game in the classroom is by learning about idioms and mood for poetry.

I can use "What do you Meme?" to teach communication, knowing your audience, and/or perspective. The way we would play this game in the classroom is by using it for a small group lesson in social skills. The lesson could be focused on understanding that everyone has different opinions, especially when it comes to humor. Just because you think something is funny, it might be offensive or hurtful to another person. Communication will occur naturally.

I plan to implement Kahoot into our Who We Are unit to provide a connection to the body systems.

I will give learners the opportunity to share games from their own cultures. We also incorporate different languages while playing…..whether it be as simple as counting or choosing a phrase.

After reading "Everybody in Almost Every Language Says “Huh”? HUH?!" I learned that the need for clarification is evolutionarily important as several misunderstandings can be avoided by signaling this need. The article taught me that I can use "huh" as a sign of confusion wherever I go.

I can use Heads Up to teach geometry. The cards would be different shapes and they would have to ask yes or no questions about the attributes of that shape in order to guess it. :)

I will illustrate vocabulary for science. I chose this topic because I could have the learners create different graphics for various science vocabulary terms, like a graffiti wall, and display them in my classroom.
