While students read, they often encounter unfamiliar vocabulary. It's helpful for them to engage with new words beyond a quick dictionary check in order to help them understand the context in which the word is used. In this activity, students demonstrate their understanding of several vocabulary words using a spider map. After choosing the word(s), students provide the part of speech, definition, an example from the text, and demonstrate their understanding of the word(s) through an illustration in the related storyboard cell.
(These instructions are completely customizable. After clicking "Copy Activity", update the instructions on the Edit Tab of the assignment.)
