To build vocabulary that students will learn how to use when speaking or writing.

Class Format:
INTRODUCE THE WORD IN CONTEXT - Defining, Parts of Speech, Writing, Spelling
Pronunciation and definition will be provided.  Students will rate their familiarity with this word. We will discuss the definition and paraphrase where necessary. Next, students read the example sentence and highlight the vocabulary word. Students will be guided to use context clues to identify and determine the part of speech.  Next, they will write the word as they spell it aloud.

VISUALIZE & DEFINE THE WORD - Defining, Grammar, Writing, Spelling
Students read a second model sentence and will be asked to write a definition of the vocabulary word in their own words.  They will be asked to draw a graphic representation of the vocabulary word to share with the class.

CONNECT - Brainstorming, Defining, Spelling
As a class, we will use our understanding of the work to brainstorm synonyms and antonyms and add them to the space provided on the weekly handout.

APPLY - Defining, Grammar, Writing, Spelling
Students will work together or independently to use the word in context by writing a short paragraph (3 - 5sentences) that includes the word appropriately used in context.  

EVALUATE & ASSESS
Students will rate their understanding of the word compared to the beginning of class.  They will also be a question that will require them to use their knowledge of the word.  
For example, Vocabulary Word:  chronological
Assessment Question:  "When putting my life into chronological order, I would start with…"

REFLECT
Students will think about and reflect on when they might use or hear this word in their everyday life.  They will then rate their understanding of the word:

0 - I've never heard this word before.
1 - I've heard the word, but I am still confused.
2 - I can describe what it means.
3 - I could teach it to someone else.
4 - I use this word in my writing.
5 - I'm a word expert! I know it inside out.
