Vocabulary Builder - Ms. Cajigas, Ann Richards School

Objective:
1. Students will learn and practice vocabulary.
2. Generate examples of words to reinforce learning.
3. Promote independent learning as they read the newspaper.

Procedures:
1. Give students 5 minutes to read the paper and underline any unfamiliar words.
2. On a large index card, have each student write down one unfamiliar word and its meaning, using a dictionary. If you see a duplicate word, have the student select another.
3. Have students create a word wall by posting their index card on a large board. Before posting, make sure spelling and grammar is correct.
4. Do a variety of activities to review words so that students automatically spell, read and understand the meaning.
