Vocabulary+Strategies


 * __ Teaching Vocabulary with Technology __**

During this workshop, Misty will share strategies of vocabulary instruction based on Marzano's 6-step process for building academic vocabulary and how to apply those strategies in a meaningful way through technology integration. We will explore visual representations, conduct visual vocabulary field trips and use multimedia to show vocabulary knowledge. All information and resources will be stored on a wiki so that participants can refer back to the information long after the conclusion of the conference. Bring your laptop, iPad or other device so we can explore tiers of vocabulary together.

Notes from Professional Development Session with Rachel Billmeyer at Lindbergh Elementary, SJSD
 * __ January 3, 2011 __**

What we know about vocabulary development: Rachel Billmeyer

[]

Vocabulary is a big picture. There is lots to think about with vocabulary. That's me strategy: Stand and say "that's me" when you hear a statement that refers to you. (first year of teaching, got engaged, etc.) With students you might say "I've been to the zoo or I've been on vacation)

Benefits: engaging, getting to know students, movement in a structured way, everyone is envolved

Consider a management piece to pull group back together: Dr. Billmeyer prefers a chime.

Oral language development is huge. How we use language is huge. We learn that through lots of talking.

Welcome Group Grounging Research of vocab ulary development Characterisitics Indirect and Direct Practices Reflect on Next Steps

NAPE indicates students who talk perform better on tests: The person doing the talking is doing the learning.

Strategy: People Search

1. Preview 2. select your favorite and sign your name in that box 3. Search for signatures from 15 people

How can you use this strategy to increase vocabulary?

Descriptions of words are more powerful than examples.

Research: What literacy strategy has the greatest impact on comprehension?

Vocabulary Literacy Strategies

vocabulary is correlated with family income 4700 hundred word difference in socio-ec status mid-ses 1st grade know 50% more words

Indirect Approaches: (Pat Wolfe -Building the reading brain) 1. create word-consious students 2. Play with words in whimsical ways through puns, idioms, 3.
