Word Warriors: Vocabulary for Reading and Writing Success (5th-6th)

In this class, we will be covering a wide range of 5th-6th grade vocabulary words through different mini-lessons and activities.

Some of these mini-lessons/ activities include: 
Phonics Magnification 
Vocabulary Mapping
Frayer Model 
Context and Illustrations
Vocabulary Matrix
Vocabulary Tree
Vocabulary Coding
Categorizing
Word Part (prefix, roots, suffixes) Games
Word Scavenger Hunt

Naturally, we will conquer these words with some resources to aid us! Students are encouraged to have a physical dictionary and thesaurus, but we definitely be using online versions as well. 
I encourage students to bring their background knowledge to the class and want to get their input about a word before we diving into it. This includes a students knowledge of other languages! Multilingual learners have a lot to share since languages do share words.
