An
important point that I took away from this power point was the importance of
choosing which words are necessary to address to students. It is essential for
students to develop a connection to a vocabulary word in order for them to
gather the full meaning of the word. If I am introduced a new word, I am going
to remember it longer and be able to use it in my everyday language if I am
able to personally connect to the word. I feel as though creating a vocabulary
wall for students is something that should be displayed in the classroom. I
love the idea of having “keeper” words in order to review throughout the school
year. One could even create a word wall containing these keeper words. Whenever
I completed a vocabulary instruction activity last year during my student
teaching, students discussed the vocabulary word with a peer, wrote a sentence
using the word, and drew a picture to go along with it. I really like the idea
of incorporating a rubric into this type of lesson.
