First Vocabulary Assignment

Today, students were given their first vocabulary assignment for the year. They were provided a 'table' with three columns and several rows. In the first column the vocabulary terms are listed. The terms are to be defined in the second column and 'applied' in the third. They were permitted to work in small groups today.

Before they were given the assignment, we discussed the meaning of the word 'migration.' All students should have defined that term in their social studies notebooks. We also discussed my rules for working in groups: 1. Be Quiet (students should be speaking in an appropriate tone), 2. Be Respectful (no making fun of anyone or disrespectful language), 3. Be on task (stay focused on the assignment), and Stop and Go (those are the commands that I use to communicate with the class during a group assignment).

Tomorrow, students will be given a little time to complete their vocabulary assignment and then we will begin our vocabulary discussion.
