great method...its a GLAD strategy (Guided Language Acquisition Development) for ELL kids

1) chart paper and markers are needed
2) draw 3 columns and put each vocabulary word on the left column, so it each has
its own square(vocab word, prediction , actual meaning)
3) without telling the kids what it means, give them sentences with the word in it(context clues).........then ask the kids to PREDICT/guess what it means....Write the predictions in the 2nd box.(write the students words)....then have the kids look up the word in the dictionary and write down the actual meaning...you can also
decide together what symbol/picture/sketch to use and draw it next to the meaning.....then make up a handmotion for it(i make it up with them or think of my own for both drawing and handmotion) ......then after all this Frontloading, I let them do the vocabulary practice book page in the workbook.
