Activity #2

Sharing Frayer (Vocabulary) 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 3 groups. (Make 3 groups using sticks)

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 put your Frayer model in the red bin. Tomorrow we will hang your Frayer model on your locker.

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

1. Hello, the word I am going to teach you is __________ . 

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