Vocabulary Take-Away by Kerry Winer https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc Now that you have reviewed the vocabulary showcases, read several articles highlighting best practices in vocabulary instruction, and practiced many strategies in class, post a new understanding about vocabulary instruction, theory and/or strategy use that you have gained. en-us 2016-10-19 18:29:34 UTC 2025-10-26 03:11:26 UTC hello@padlet.com K.I.M. Chart kerry_winer https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131891290 I really like the K.I.M. strategy of collecting vocabulary words. The visual column is so important.]]> 2016-10-19 18:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131891290 I found considering the three stages of vocabulary learning (pre-teaching, developing, and culminating) to be a helpful framework for planning instruction https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131954976 2016-10-20 01:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131954976 Frayer Model jking141 https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131954983 I like the variations on the Frayer model.  The multiple modes of building knowledge is great.]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131954983 Creating a kick-ass Frayer model https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955000 I liked using a Frayer model, especially for science where non-examples can be so crucial. ]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955000 Replicating opening and closing activity https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955012 From looking at other activities and comparing them to my own I realized that the use of the same activity for the pre-teach/launch and the assessment can be the same activity. In hindsight I realized I actually did this for my launch but then didn't talk about it in my presentation. The takeaway for my students is that they get to see how much easier the activity is when they have a effective vocabulary to use. ]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955012 Games https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955030 I really liked the games, specifically the "I have who has" game. It is great for student involvement]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955030 I liked the pre, during, and post learning guides. They were extremely helpful! https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955034 2016-10-20 01:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955034 The best Vocabulary Showcases I saw tonight really focused on the progression between the three steps: anticipating, developing and culminating; especially in how to build bridges between these three steps. In terms of how to build these bridges, I really liked how many of them utilized Frayer charts.  adamahowardz https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955036 /All the games we played tonight were awesome!

I think this deepens the level of engagement.]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955054 Pre- Assessment https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955060 Pre- assessments are a great way to help teachers pick which words they need to teach to their students and access prior knowledge.]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955060 graphic organizers https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955068 I really am impressed with the number of different graphic organizers.]]> 2016-10-20 01:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955068 Games! chelseyfalco https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955086 I really liked all the different games we played in class today, especially the "I have... who has..." game. I remember playing that when I was younger, and I completely forgot about it. I will definitely need to find a way to incorporate that into the classroom.]]> 2016-10-20 01:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955086 Creative Games and Popup books https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955097 I really liked the conversation game and the I have who has game. I can see those working well to break up the class instruction and get students thinking creatively. I also really liked the idea of popup books and comics. I've seen dioramas, but the popup books are compact and useful which is fun!]]> 2016-10-20 01:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955097 I think that the games were a helpful way to demonstrate teaching vocabulary in practice. Often the most daunting part of vocabulary instruction is not necessary theory but practice.  https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955100 2016-10-20 01:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955100 https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955105 I really like the ways that games are used to bring vocabulary from the curriculum and into everyday conversation. The conversation game is really cool for students that can think quickly, and the paint chips are really engaging for students to think more critically about words. ]]> 2016-10-20 01:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955105 I loved some classmates' original graphic designers...people got so creative! https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955118 2016-10-20 01:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955118 Games/Art Projects https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955140 I loved the paint chip idea the best-- it's a cheap and easy way to decorate a classroom and a great way to see synonyms/antonyms clearly since they can get jumbled or overwhelming. 
The flip books and pop-up books were great for this reason, too, but more so as things students could take with them and add to throughout a unit.
The pop-up games also gave me great ideas since I'm in a class that doesn't get to move a lot or even speak up, so this is a great way to reach the talkative/active students and give the quiet students scripted things to say to ease speaking/standing up.]]> 2016-10-20 01:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955140 Modification https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955159 I took away many strategies from class that I wanted to use with my lessons in the future. I also see that no matter how many strategies there are, we should always find a way to modify, adapt, or tailor them to your classes.]]> 2016-10-20 01:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955159 Anticipation Guides https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955160 They seem like a great way to preview the vocabulary in the unit. It also helps the teacher know how in depth to go.]]> 2016-10-20 01:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955160 Games https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955182 I am really into all of the vocab games that we tried in class tonight, but I think that I find the Conversation Game most engaging and most helpful. I also loved the idea of using paint chips to connect words

I think they will be very useful in the classroom. I never realized that there were so many creative ways to teach vocabulary. I liked seeing ways people used them for social studies. I liked the paint chip idea to expand vocabulary. It would be great to use when students are writing a paper.  https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955260 2016-10-20 01:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955260 2x2 sentence guide https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955268 I think the sentence guide is a great tool to foster connections between ideas and vocabulary words and to encourage students to think beyond the definition and actually put each word into practice and into context.

The games were fun, and everything that I learned has practical classroom engagement strategies. ]]> 2016-10-20 01:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955566 Assessment chelseyfalco https://padlet.com/kerry_winer/9h58ujlvxnbc/wish/131955579 I really enjoyed seeing all the types of assessment that people included in their showcase.
