Introduce Vocab Video Contest:

• Students have had the opportunity to see several vocab videos. Now, they can produce their own!
• Go to the Vocab Contest page, and explain the contest and review the rules with students.
• Be sure to tell them Mrs. Labert has digital tools in the library they can use to create their videos.
• Emphasize the deadline of November 22--the last day before Thanksgiving break. Students must have videos uploaded to SchoolTube by this date.

Watch Vocab Videos:

• Vocab videos

  • Log in with your username and password.
  • Click on +"Video Library" in blue bar at top of page.
  • Select "Rumor Chick: The New Guy."
  • Select the first set of words.

• Give students time to play with the words:

  
  Have students use markers on desk or dry erase boards or pencil and paper to create a 4-square. As students work, walk around the room to help give students ideas and ask questions about what they're drawing.
  • Write synonyms--words that mean the same.
  • Write examples/scenarios/situations that illustrate the word. For example, for sagacious (which means wise), they might write a judge, Solomon, jeopardy winner (the game show).
  • Draw a pic.
  • Write a sentence.

Or, you might have students work with a partner to think of scenarios they could write for a vocab video on a particular word, and have students share with whole class.

• Let students share with a partner or the whole class.
