okay class we're just gonna review and talk about the words that we learned
last week guys remember this one Gardi Lu
yes Peter a chicken no I know it doesn't mean chicken we talked about this like
ten years ago on October 17th collywobbles guys listen
to me to listen when I teach you no teacher really intends for their
students to feel that way but if our lesson is not engaging enough and it's
not interesting sometimes we can lose our students in the process in this
video I'm going to outline my three favorite vocabulary hacks that will keep
your students engaged but it will also help them remember academic vocabulary
words that they may not always be a costumed in everyday experiences also
please stick towards the end because I have a very special announcement for you
and I can't wait to share it with you
hello and welcome back to my channel my name is doctor hempel and if you're new
here I post weekly tips strategies and resources for teachers all around the
world who teach English as a foreign language to their students also if you
hit that notification bell you will be notified every time I post a new video
if you're new here make sure you comment below where you're watching this from as
I love to get to know my viewers the first vocabulary hack that I'm gonna
share with you today is the six step process for teaching vocabulary by dr.
Robert Marzano the reason why this strategy is so helpful is because after
students follow the routine that is embedded within this strategy research
has shown that they were able to apply their knowledge in other subject areas
and that their test scores increased I'm gonna show you step by step what that
process is but I'm not gonna go as in-depth if you would like me to do that
in a future video please comment below and I'll be more than happy to do that
for this strategy and all the other strategies that I'm going to mention in
this video I am going to include all the links in the description below so they
will be directed you to the free resources that you can download at your
convenience step number one in the six step process for teaching vocabulary is
explain what you're going to do is provide a student friendly description
explanation or example of the new term the second strategy is to restate you
ask students to restate the description explanation or example in their own
words the third strategy is to show as students to construct a picture a symbol
or graphic representing the term step number four is discussed engage students
periodically in activities that help them add to their knowledge of the terms
in their notebooks
step number five is to refine and reflect periodically as students to
discuss the terms with one another step number six apply in learning games
involve students periodically in games that allow them to play with the terms
my second vocabulary hack to crease vocab lay acquisition and use in your
students is to provide an interactive notebook or just a regular notebook for
your students to record the terms that they're learning in your classroom I
have linked below my favorite interactive notebook that is free that
you can download for your students but you can go as far as just using this
simple sheet that has all of the components of the six step process and
you can photocopy it double-sided hole punch it and you can put inside a binder
or you can just simply send it off if your school district has a print shop
and have them bind it together as a book for your students
the third hack is to find game templates that have already been made for you and
all you have to do is insert within them the specific vocabulary words that
you're covering for that day so that your students can play the one that I've
chosen for you that is completely free for you to start using and embedding
your vocabulary words in them it's called a fun game of taboo I'm not going
to go over the directions they I've listed them below so you can after
watching this video you can read through it and start having your students play
