Title of Book
Learning in the Fast Lane - Chapter 5 - Vocabulary Development
Author
Suzy Pepper Rollins
Synopsis
Many students arrive at school with up 70% less vocabulary than their peers. Here are some strategies for developing student strategies and exposing students to new words 6 times. These should be visual, interactive and collaborative.
How will it help me? How has it helped me?
I have used several of these strategies with my Level 1b writers. They have developed an understanding of key science vocabulary (e.g. force, energy, friction, vibration).
I need to include using the strategies for incidental vocabulary.

ReplyDeleteGreat to see your enthusiasm for your tool and to see how it has developed. What testing have you done and how has it met the expectations you had hoped for in reducing anxiety and increasing vocabulary? What do the other teachers think and have they given you ideas for further adaptations? Looking forward to seeing how the feedback you have received has influenced your programme and ultimate design. Yes bring on the wananga and be prepared to amaze.
