I chose these 40 words because they all tie into two social studies lessons I plan to implement in my future classroom. I plan on holding a mock election in my future classroom complete with voter registration, close-door primary elections, and poll data. All of the entries highlighted in red are a part of this election unit. All the entries with white backgrounds are vocabulary terms we will use in our slavery unit. All the read-alouds that were used on this word wall represent the stories we will cover in class and best highlight that vocabulary word.

1. To give us an opportunity to stop while reading and concentrate on a potentially unfamiliar term. During these times we will discuss the new word, then add it to our word wall, then continue with the lesson.

2. To provide a visual resource for new vocabulary terms. This word wall gives students a way to scaffold the use of these new terms into their everyday vocabulary. When testing out these words, they can simply look up and find them on the word wall to see definitions and visual examples of that word.

3. To provide the backdrop for vocab review games. With this virtual word wall made manifest, we could use it to play vocab review games like Swat.

4. To provide alternative activities for students who can not handle the interactive activity we are currently doing. Sometimes, students have trouble following directions and you must separate them from the activity or risk the activity degrading into complete and utter chaos. To respond to this situation, it could be as easy as telling Billy Bob to sit in the safe seat and either copy words and definitions off of the word wall or use the words from the word wall in sentences.

5. You could also have your students be the ones that make the word wall. At the end of each lesson, you could provide a time for students to share whatever words they were unfamiliar with. This way, you are only adding words to the word wall that are uniquely helpful to your kiddos.
