Another great way to engage your students is with storyboards that use vocabulary from the Out of my Mind book. Have students research the definition using online dictionaries. Once the proper definition for the context in which it is used in the book is found, create a three-cell spider map. One cell will contain the definition. A second cell will show how the word might be used/seen in the real world. The last cell will show how the word is depicted or represented in the book.
Here are a few vocabulary words commonly taught with the book, and an example of a visual vocabulary board.
