I loved teaching vocabulary ...Oh, I love that goal. I loved teaching vocabulary in math/science classes because it appealed to many students who were more English Language Arts oriented than myself. What the students did not know that I was still teaching my content (I did interject *some* content-specific words) across in the vocabulary activities.<br /><br />I am sure you have already checked out Marzano's books, I used a math notebook for this, but I am sure you could make a template within Google for them to copy (Kasey Bell's post on how to have your students automatically copy a GDoc: http://goo.gl/6kBuUS ) - no erasing of others work if they *have* to make a copy first! :)<br /><br />Also, toward your goal, here is a recent list I put together after hearing a teacher state "I don't have to teach that":<br />http://www.hotlunchtray.com/another-listly-post-on-content-literacy/ pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084245656873833178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108449576411473160.post-80328377738015943162015-01-05T17:28:30.422-08:002015-01-05T17:28:30.422-08:00Fantastic to have you with us for another challeng...Fantastic to have you with us for another challenge! I love words too and can completely understand your need to find ways to make the most of the teachable moment. A Padlet would definitely do that and whatever you create with the students could then be embedded in a blog etc. Great for showing parents, etc what you're doing. A Google presentation would work too - and you could keep adding to it and adding other media.<br />Look forward to your next post! :)Learning and Teaching Buzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140550903207435526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108449576411473160.post-57707381102447349292015-01-03T16:16:12.215-08:002015-01-03T16:16:12.215-08:00So good to read your thoughts again.
