Groups of students, no more than 5, take turns pulling words from cup. Cup moves clockwise. Students say the word, spell the word, and use the word in a sentence AND/OR provide an example. If a student pulls a stick that says "BANG," the student must hand ALL sticks they have received to person to their left. ]]> 2020-02-11 15:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443722036 sbunch8007 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443727026 2020-02-11 15:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443727026 abarnes8174 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443727048 2020-02-11 15:16:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443727048 abarnes8174 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443728053 2020-02-11 15:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443728053 cwilkins11 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443730783 2020-02-11 15:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/443730783 jross62 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446834029 It is important for students
to use new vocabulary words. Posting new words and their definitions on a word wall creates a public record of new learning. Students may refer to the wall during class discussions and while writing and reading.]]> 2020-02-18 14:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446834029 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446834302 https://www.ldatschool.ca/effective-instructional-vocabulary/]]> 2020-02-18 14:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446834302 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446837389 vocabulary practice ]]> 2020-02-18 14:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446837389 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446841426 2020-02-18 15:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446841426 jross62 https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/446846971 I used this several years ago with my students.

The exercise build confidence in their abilities and has practical application, providing modeling for a skill that they can use as life-long learners.

I am including a list of resources that can be modified, melded together to create your own unit of study or used as they are presented.

Students can write the word in the title box of the cell and in the description box, they can write their own definition of the word. This can be done in English or in the students’ own language. Students can then create a visual definition or add some examples in the cell. This format can also be easily printed and cut up into flashcards or labels.]]> 2020-02-25 15:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jross62/yhzssgii7n6y/wish/450129176
