4 Vocabulary Word of the Day © Miller & Lee, Scholastic Teaching Resources
Teacher Tips Use the words in any way that suits your teaching style, classroom goals, and students’ skill levels and learning styles. Here are some suggestions:
= Preview each quartet of words to determine whether you want to present words one at a time, more than one at a time, or as a complete foursome.
vocabulary journals that they can add to as they read, listen, write, or research. You might have them apply some of the WordWork techniques to internalize their newly acquired words.
= Present words daily or, as a set, weekly. Start class with one of the words. Print a page, cut it in half, and post the word and its treatment. (You may wish to enlarge the page for greater visibility.) Post words in the same spot each day, perhaps within a frame, to accustom students to this activity. As you complete each word, store it alphabetically in a file box or accordion file.
= From time to time, invite students to present new vocabulary of their own choosing. The words they offer may come from their reading, from current events, or from a random browsing through the dictionary. They can also be offshoots of the word groupings in this book. For an extra challenge, have students formulate a model sentence, a userfriendly definition, and WordWork idea to support each new word.
= Invite students to do the WordWork as a warm-up, as a concluding activity, as home work, as extra credit, as a performance assessment for their portfolios, or as a challenge just for fun!
= Finally, take a tip from the old TV comedy quiz show You Bet Your Life . On that show, host Groucho Marx chose a new secret word each day. If a contestant happened to use that word in the course of conversation, bells rang, a rubber duck dropped from the ceiling, and the contestant won a prize. Try a similar gimmick with words in this book. Be sure not to display the word until class ends or a student uses it!
= Let the In a Word” features stimulate “
research, brainstorming, written and oral expression, or role-playing.
= Encourage students to keep individualized
