This class is a vocabulary class, focusing on teaching students to read, write, and define vocabulary words with each lesson. In class students will read the words given and their definition. Then 3-4 activities will be done using interactive websites like nearpod.com, kahoot.com, or blooket.com to help reinforce these definitions of these vocabulary words.   Examples of these activities are: Words and their meanings; find the one that doesn’t belong; Apply the meanings; fill in the blank

 Each week the vocabulary list and a video from the teacher will be posted to the classroom on Wednesdays. The students are expected to either print out and write out each vocabulary word, or view the pdf document and copy off the screen each vocabulary word. This will help students reinforce how to write and spell each word. As students write each word out they should also read the definitions and examples of each word. This will help them prepare for the games/activities they will be completing for this weeks words. All of these activities are going to be based off of how to use and/or define these vocabulary words.
