This class is done in a similar manner as my spelling classes, students will read and learn new vocabulary words and their definitions  each week. These lessons are based off of the Wordly Wise books. Then we will play interactive online games on a couple of these sites: nearpod, kahoot, blooket, gimit. These games do not require a login or email, a code/link will be given in class to join the games. Students will be asked during the games questions about the definitions and use of the vocabulary the class went over at the beginning of class.  This class is at a  (Grade 8) level. , focusing on teaching students to read, write, and define vocabulary words with each lesson. In class students will write and read the words given and their definition.

Another device is recommended but not required to play these games during class time. The other option is students can join in the game on the same device they are in class on.
