I have my students, all year, record words from their reading on a bookmark called a vocab tracker. They then choose five words a week to take a quiz on. I have a flash card game that I got from a cooperative learning workshop, it ends with a quiz the students take. If you are interested, please e-mail me off line and I will send you the specific directions for the co-op flash card game.

With the last Literature Circle that was conducted in my classroom,I noticed the students were coming in to discussion ready to talk about the words they didn't understand. I want to figure out a way for students to commit these words to their personal vocabulary. I like to idea of having students come in with words they do not understand and talking about them in discussion, but I feel like it needs to go a step further. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
