塗鴉和學習詞彙營

This fun, interactive class will meet weekly and is great for learners who need to expand their vocabulary.  Each week learners will learn approximately three new words.  The doodling technique will make this class fun and engaging.  

Class will begin with an introduction to parts of speech relative to the words we will be learning (nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.).  Many words will also require a quick lesson on prefixes and suffixes and their meanings.  Then we will start our discussion about the new vocabulary.  I will provide a page to be printed for each class that will include the new words as well as space for illustrating, drawing, doodling, etc. to help students comprehend and remember the words and their meaning.  We will make connections to help make the meanings stick.  These connections may be through discussion, video clips, books, photos, etc.  

Examples of "doodling" include ...doodle something you are "capable" of doing, doodle an instrument a musician might "practice", doodle what a "concert" might look on the stage, doodle the word "plentiful" in a doodly way, doodle something "ascending" in the sky, etc.

Learners will need to come to class prepared each week to get the most out of this class.  They will need to print the interactive page that has the vocabulary words and also have a pencil, crayons, colored pencils, markers, etc. available to use during class. 

This class is an ongoing class that meets every week.  Each lesson is individual and not based on previous lessons.  So, students can join at any time.
