Love how Ms. Chamberlin shared with us their strategy for playing "Pictionary" with the kids to increase their comprehension of the word itself. From an arts perspective, it's always better to show than tell, and his appears to have been a huge success. Way to go 6th Grade Social Studies!

Very intricate details and explanations about how your students have been practicing using context clues to create their own understanding of the vocabulary words. The examples showed that even though the students may have never heard of the word before, they were able to come up with their own "sense" of the word.

The reinforcement of the vocabulary words *in use* in verbal responses in class, on the rubric, and in student work allows for multiple opportunities to maintain awareness and increase comfort in incorporating the language.

I think the vocabulary box is a great way for the students to use the tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary terms in practice, as opposed to in isolation. Depending on the word, it may benefit some students to do an activity where they learn the word in isolation first, and then use the word within their writing by using the vocabulary box. - Seinfeld
