Vocabulary
Development Game
Create an engaging vocabulary game that utilizes
five different teaching strategies for vocabulary development. These strategies
should also address Common Core’s three tiers of academic language:
1.
Common words, which most children
acquire in daily conversations in their first language;
2.
Content specific technical
words, which may be commonly used or rarely used; and
3.
Words that define written
text, generally more sophisticated and precise than words used in conversation
OR academic vocabulary from academic texts
Submit a description of the game materials and
instructions on how the game is to be played in a 250-500-word essay.
The vocabulary game should
include strategies that can be used as informal assessments. Be sure to allow
for differentiation for ELL or special needs students. The game should be one
that can be replicated at home by the students and their family members.
