$9.00

* Open the preview for more details! *

Description

Vocabulary must be taught in context for students to truly understand the words and build relationships with them, and then in turn use them in writing and speaking. Move away from lists of vocabulary words and looking up definitions, and teach students how to comprehend with this best practice pack!

*****************************************************************************
WHAT’S INCLUDED?

In this Vivid Vocabulary pack, I have provided activities designed on researched best practices for use with popular mentor texts to help you maximize your teaching time. These are the same mentor texts used in UNIT 4 of VOLUME 2 mentor sentences, interactive activities, and Better Than Basal Reading and Writing Activities.

-Can It Rain Cats and Dogs? By Melvin and Gilda Berger
-Water Dance By Thomas Locker
-You Wouldn’t Want to Sail With Christopher Columbus! By Fiona MacDonald
-Postcards from Pluto By Loreen Leedy
-Animals Nobody Loves By Seymour Simon
-OWLS By Gail Gibbons
-If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad By Ellen Levine
-Snowflake Bentley By Jacqueline Briggs Martin
-My Brother Martin By Christine King Farris
-A River Ran Wild By Lynne Cherry

★ Activities are also provided as links to Google Slides for Digital Learning! ★

Please look at the preview to see what is included! Every mentor text “set” of activities includes the “What Do You Think?” page for context application and the “Show What You Know” page to formatively assess students. The other activities vary based on the text and the vocabulary words.

There are open-ended activities and ideas provided that can be used with any words, and I encourage you to incorporate past words in with the current words using these formats for frequent repetition.

*****************************************************************************
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED?
