What are we going to do today?

We’re going to learn a new activity for practicing vocabulary.

Hmmm. We already learned a couple of ways to understand our words better. Let me remember…

Oh, yeah! Last class, we started to PLAY with the words. And before that, we found a lot of sentences for context examples.

Wow! You are clever to remember all that!

Today we are going to PLAY with words again, but we are also going to practice finding IMAGES to represent our words.

Why?

Why! I love that question!

Some fancy scientists have discovered

that it helps us learn words better

when we represent—or show--them

with pictures.

Oh, goody! I can’t wait!

What will I be able to do at the end of class?

Fabulous question!

You will be able to do THREE things.

This is YOU in the future:

I can find images to represent (show) word meanings

I can identify at least 3 internet resources for finding word images

I can create an Animoto to represent and play with a word

What on earth is an Animoto?

Soon, all shall be revealed…

freedom

Reflect and share:

How was that?
