I used to think that vocab learning was boring and heavy memorization. Now I'm thinking that it can be fun and utilized well with UOI not only stand alone WTW.

# data[].attributes.body
An action step I'm going to take is to utilize the UOI wall as a word wall for students to look back and build their vocabulary

# data[].attributes.body
I want to try a more interactive vocabulary activity so that students can be more motivated and make the learning applicable.

# data[].attributes.body
I used to think the vocabulary learning was about students knowing just the definition and what it is, but now I realize the importance of knowing the context of the vocabulary word as well as knowing how to apply it. I also really liked all the examples of morphology, using a gradient vocab word wall, and other examples of how students can build vocabulary as a class.

I used to think that vocabulary needs to be taught by teaching strategies. Now I'm thinking that read-alouds are a great way to teach vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.headline
I used to think that I can just teach vocabulary during read-aloud...Now I am thinking that a quick review of the text can help me better prepare how to teach specific words to the "maximum" instead of it just being incidental.

An action step that I am going to take is:
I do MAD LIBS with students every day and I think creating a word wall with all the examples that they give and challenging them to think about different words to build their vocab.

Vocabularies are always explicitly taught, in formal settings. But now I can utilise read-a-loud more to make meaningful context.

# data[].attributes.body
We used to think that
1) explicit vocabulary instruction was to teach the meaning of the vocabulary
2) knowing the vocabulary means that you are able to replace the new vocabulary with what you already know

But now we think..
1) there are many other ways to teach the vocabulary such as turn & talk, word & concept sorts
2) plan ahead of what you want to teach during a read-aloud

I used to think vocabulary was a long list of words.  Now I think it is much more than that (so many more ways of doing and making it so exciting !)
