Activity #2

Sharing Frayer Models

Goal:

For this activity it is your job to teach your vocabulary word to a small group of your peers well enough so you can get several students to use it correctly in a sentence of their own. You will be split up into 4 groups.

Group 1 - Gryffindor

Group 2 - Ravenclaw

Group 3 - Slytherin

Group 4 - Hufflepuff

How to Present:
You will stand up and play the role of the teacher. 

Be sure to include:

1 - the word (including the page number)

2 - the sentence from the text

3 - the definition including the part of speech

4 - any synonyms or examples

5 - any antonyms or opposites

6 - an explanation of your illustration

7 - finish by asking if anyone has questions about your word, and if someone in your group can use your word in a sentence

8 - Once you have shared you can hang your Frayer model on your locker. Put them right below the combination dial.

Here is an example of a script you could use when you share.

1. Hello, the word I am going to teach you is __________ . This word can be found on page ______ . 

2. Here is the sentence from the text: "__________________ ."  

3. (Your word) is a (What part of speech?) The definition is _____________________________ . 

4. Some synonyms of (your word) are __________________ .

5. Some antonyms of (your word) are __________________ .

6. My illustration is __________________________ .

7. Does anyone have a question about my word, or Frayer model?

Does anyone think they can use __________ in a sentence?

Tips:

• Make sure you hold your model up so the other students can see it
• Speak loud and clear. 
• Speak slowly. Do not talk too quickly or quietly.
• Pause between each section
• Ask if anyone has questions when you are done
• Don't forget to ask if anyone can use your word in a sentence of their own
