Who are students?
What is restating?
You can ask a student to create a picture, symbol, or one of these for the term.
What is a graphic representation?
You provide descriptions, explanations, and examples, but NOT this.
What is a definition?
At this point, students should only demonstrate this.
What is an initial understanding?
Students may have trouble coming up with a visual image for a term, so you may have to do this.
What is modeling?
One effective method is to have all of the students gather together to talk about the term
What is a group discussion?
What is a vocabulary notebook?
Make sure that you remind students to NOT do this when constructing a visual for their word
What is overdrawing?
