What kids do
“Your teacher writes a new word on the board. Learn it four ways: what it is, what it means, what it looks like and how to use it.”
Printed on the sheet:
- Word of the day:
- What it means, in my own words
- A picture of the word
- A word that means the same:
- A word that means the opposite:
- Use the word in a sentence about you.
Teacher tip
Pick the word from your read-aloud or a science unit so kids hear it again during the day.
How to use it
- Have the page on desks before kids arrive so they can start right away.
- Go over the answers together at the start of the lesson.
- Fill one in with the class the first time so kids see what a finished one looks like.
Watch for
Kids who arrive late and feel rushed. Let them finish at another time.
Talk about it
- How did you check your work?
- What is one thing that went well this week?
Take it further
Let early finishers write their own problem for tomorrow’s page.
