Overview

This manual is designed to identify the academic vocabulary that is to be taught at

each grade level in Kindergarten through 8th grade. The words are categorized in the core

subject areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. The staff utilized

the book, Building Academic Vocabulary, Teachers’ Manual (2006)by Robert J.

Marzano and Debra J. Pickering, to guide them through the process of identifying

vocabulary words. The book also provides strategies for teaching the vocabulary and

games to review the words. With the development of this manual, the staff will align the

vocabulary curriculum and ensure the continuity of how the vocabulary is taught at each

grade level.

Teaching Vocabulary Terms and Phrases

Step 1: Provide a description, explanation, or example of the new term – Students need initial information about terms they are learning.

• Background knowledge • Connections

o Field Trips, guest speaker o Tell story to integrate o Video/computer images o Group investigation (Skit-pantomime) o Current Events o Mental Picture o Find or create pictures

Step 2: Ask students to restate the description, explanation, or example in their own words. This does not need to be comprehensive.

• Go back to provide additional descriptions/examples • Allow students to discuss in small groups • Move to Step 3 and return to Step 2.

Step 3: Ask Students to construct a picture, symbol, or graphic representation of term/phrase.

• Create a model for them • Provide examples of drawings by yourself and other students • At first, allow students to work together. • Google images for a better connection

Step 4: Engage students periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of terms in their notebooks.

• Create Academic Vocabulary Notebooks. • This notebook stores all vocabulary that students are presented with during course

of study. • Students can add vocabulary words to the notebook as deemed necessary and

refer back to the terms often. Suggestions:

of 33

• Highlight prefix/suffix that will help them remember meaning. • Synonyms/Antonyms • Pictures • Related words • Brief cautions and reminder of confusing vocabulary words • Translate vocabulary words if needed.

Step 5: Discuss – Periodically ask students to discuss the terms with one another. Adjust and reflect – Engage students in activities which will help them add to their knowledge of the terms. The fourth step activities can include compare and contrast terms, classify terms, identify antonyms and synonyms, and create analogies and metaphors. Students can also add additional terms to their vocabulary notebook.

• Highlight prefixes, suffices, root words that will help them remember the meaning of the term

• Identify synonyms and antonyms for the term • List related words • Write Brief cautions or reminders of common confusions • Sort or classify words • Compare similarities and differences.

Step 6: Refine and Reflect – Engage students periodically change word in activities which will help them add to their knowledge of the terms. The fifth step students examine their entries in their vocabulary notebooks to make any needed changes. Students might:

• Compare their descriptions of the word • Describe pictures if needed to help remember terms. • Explain any new information that has been learned and make sure students are

aware of any new terms. • Identify any confusion and clarify any uncertain terms.

Step 7: Apply through learning games – Involve students periodically in games that allow them to play with their vocabulary words. The sixth step students play games to help students reexamine their understanding of past terms as well as learning and remembering new terms. It is suggested to set aside time each week to play vocabulary games in order to help students remember the terms and be excited about learning vocabulary terms. Suggested games which involve students:

of 33

• Jeopardy • Pyramid • I have, who has? • Pictionary • Memory • Charades

• Name that Category ($100,00 Pyramid)

• Bingo (you give definition, student marks the word)

• Create a skit • Kids make their own game
