My students love this movement vocabulary game called Quiz-Quiz-Trade! The vocab words are pre-written on index cards, either by the student or teacher.

Each student gets a card, stands up, and puts their hand in the air until they find a partner.
Partner 1: "My word is ____. Do you know what ____ means?"
Partner 2: "Could you tell me?"
Partner 1: "The word _____ means..."
Then P2 does the same with their word for P1. Finally, they say, "Quiz, quiz, trade!" switch their cards, and put their hand up again to find a new partner.

I use it because the students are actively teaching each other the words, and after a few minutes of trading everyone's gotten to try all the words. I try to use a mix of words that they already know along with and a few "new learning" words. The students are also really good at helping each other if they get stuck on a word's meaning.]]> 2021-02-25 04:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239353192 https://justaddstudents.com/vocabulary-teaching-strategies/ https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239376105

The kid guessing turns away from the board & the class gives them hints. Can be used for any topic or subject and all of elementary. https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239754099 2021-02-25 07:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239754099 Content Language and Integrated Learning (CLIL) https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239759643 Faaria Volinski BST, Nursery - Grade 5
Experiential vocabulary acquisition through acting and visuals:

Learning describing vocabulary for a setting in the context of The Great Fire of London. Pre-taught two groups separately to describe a setting before and after the fire. Children pretended they were bakers and acted out what they saw, smelled, thought and felt before and after the fire. They had an opportunity to explain any words the others did not know.

Then, children joined the whole class to enter "black boxes" of immersive settings of the bakery before and after the fire. They used their vocabulary cards from the pre-teach (6 words/phrases each) to choose vocabulary to add to class word banks on whiteboards based on what they saw, heard, thought and felt in those environments.

There was plenty of opportunity here to interact with non-EAL children in the class and teach words they have learned to others. There was also opportunity to discuss shades of meaning based on what they were experiencing.]]> 2021-02-25 07:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239759643 Joanne-Grades 1 & 2 - abstract thinking is really tough and it's hard for kids to express the picture of they are seeing in their head. Goal - improve visual resources. The kids were writing a realistic piece where the setting was at a school and then Joanne created visuals to support the language: Different locations in the school, people at school, facial expressions when you are lost - feelings and thoughts for "I got lost at school". They co-created a list of vocabulary to support the writing. using the visuals i.e. a dog that got lost - they look at the pictures she has created and they point to the pictures - it promotes so much more language and is immensely successful for writing strategies. They are able to share so much orally - and their comfort level is much higher. Helps students stretch their thinking. Posts them on the wall and others use them. https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239770579 2021-02-25 07:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239770579 Katie - Grades 3-5 but also works with G1 & 2 - Word map - semantic pieces and phonological pieces - split the map into 2. Unit - light and sound - they didn't know the word bright or sunshine - "flashlight" semantic side: "what do you do with it?" "where do you find it" "what parts does it have?" "what group does it belong to?" phonological side: "how many syllables does it have?", what does it start with, "what does it end with", "what does it rhyme with?" When they went back to their homerooms, they were able to share more freely because they had more language. This is co-constructed. You could add to it however you want. This is used for pre-teaching unit vocab so EAL students can better participate in the class discussion. https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239790144 2021-02-25 07:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239790144 Great online dictionary Marti Hardin Elementary Students mhardin18_1 https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239827074 2021-02-25 07:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239827074 Lincs Tables stepe5_1 https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239827529 For Grade 4 and up ]]> 2021-02-25 07:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1239827529 Pear Deck Flashcard Factory stepe5_1 https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1240492343 https://www.peardeck.com/pear-deck-vocabulary
Enables students to work in pairs/ groups and create digital flashcards. The students really enjoys drawing on their screens and coming up with funny sentences with the target words. The flashcards can then be exported as study sets.]]> 2021-02-25 11:28:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1240492343 Concept Circle epuma1_1 https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1249180595 Good for vocabulary practice. 4 vocabulary words. You ask them the question "How do these words go together?" This helps see relationships between vocabulary to build conceptual understanding. Also a nice moment to practice compound sentences with "because" by using a sentence stem. Also a natural moment to practice commas in a series.

You can change it to the question "which word does not belong?".

Kids can make their own and test them on each other. ]]> 2021-02-28 05:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1249180595 Word Map - Semantic -vs- Phonological (Photo) ktenenbaum https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1272385746 Sorry I can't get the image to rotate, but this is what I meant. ]]> 2021-03-05 04:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1272385746 Knowledge Source Institute epuma1_1 https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1374104962 Language Instructional Strategies]]> 2021-04-01 02:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1374104962 Knowledge Source Institute epuma1_1 https://padlet.com/nwonghs/lssl3pn1u5k7s6n0/wish/1374106553 with Dr. Rojas.
