They just want to look up words instead of figuring out using context. We break down words and sentences to figure out vocabulary meanings. ]]> 2018-07-19 15:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jencoffman151/1rnij0rje8ms/wish/270636737 mcheatham https://padlet.com/jencoffman151/1rnij0rje8ms/wish/270636739 I have a routine weekly in my classroom. On day 1 I introduce the weekly (Wonder) words, and we give examples. On Day 2, we do Pear Deck vocab (drawing pictures and writing words). Day 3 and day 4- we do vocabulary skills (context clues, similes, etc)]]> 2018-07-19 15:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jencoffman151/1rnij0rje8ms/wish/270636739 https://padlet.com/jencoffman151/1rnij0rje8ms/wish/270636803 Introducing vocabulary words to the students and asking students if they know what it means.
