I have many students on my caseload this year working on vocabulary. I recently purchased Linguisystems' Word Feast Middle School (I plan to do a blog post on why I love it, so if you're curious stay tuned!), and I needed a way to organize all those new vocabulary words my students are learning! I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I decided to create my own.
My graphic organizer includes space for the vocabulary word, definition, part of speech, synonyms, antonyms, and a space to write a sentence using that vocabulary word.
Check it out below, and head over to my Teachers pay Teachers store to get this FREEBIE for yourself!
I'm wondering how to measure progress with the lessons in Word Feast. some type of pre and post test?
ReplyDeleteI have been keeping baseline data as we preview the vocab words for each section. Does the student know what the word means? Can they give a synonym/antonym, etc? Then I am teaching the vocabulary and concepts and will have them use these graphic organizers to show me that they understand what these words mean.
Deletegreat idea. I love Word Feast-have the elementary and middle school books. thanks for the organizer
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I hope you find it useful!
DeleteI have the elementary version and just haven't put it to use the way I wanted to when i bought the book. I honestly think your organizer is going to change things for the better starting tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou just made my night! I'm always trying to make things more functional for my students, and I think that this will help me do that. Let me know how things go, I would love to hear!
DeletePerfect timing! I just put in my order for it this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
