Isabel Beck By Lynetteapo

I use activities from Isabel Beck's book "Bringing Words to Life"

For example:
making choices
if any of the thigns I say might be examples of voyage, say voyage. If not, don't say anything.
-going to the

grocery store (NO) -traveling around the world (yes) -taking a long trip across the country (yes) -walking to school (no) word associations Give definitions for the words. Then ask students to associate one of their new words (conductor, platform, satchel) with a presented word or phrase. Such as: -Which word goes with train? (conductor) -Which word goes with stage?

(platform)
-Which word goes with bookbag? (satchel)

Applause, Appplause
Students are asked to clap in order to indicate how much they would like (not at all, a little bit, a lot) to be described by the targeted words: loyal, disobedient, curious. Also ask them why they feel that way.

My students like making choices and applause because they get to be active. The Which word? activity can be made into a powerpoint.
