You can't write about it if you don't know the words.
On this page I'd like to come up with a variety of techniques we can use
to reinforce vocab throughout the program. For example, we could make a "Video Vocabulary"
to go along with each unit. We would hold up any hardware (Streak tile, electrical switch, peat puck) and have
the name show up on the screen. Then we would give a short description of the item which would be
Played across the bottom part of the screen.
Maybe we can publish docs for the kids to cut out and assemble into flash cards. On the other hand, having the kids make their own flash cards would be better; maybe the docs are for anyone who needs a little help.
Pitch in with other ideas
Talking to the grade three team we cam up with making the vocab:
--landscape layout,
--two copies to a page to reduce copying and size,
--lines between words.
This allows kids can tape them in their books with less mayhem. Also came up with the idea of the answer key having definitions in the form of a text box. That way you could delete some of the "Answers" while leaving a few to help struggling students (ELL for example). I'll upload a sample shortly.
