How Do I Bring Vocab Videos into My Classroom?
How you work Vocab Videos into your classroom will depend on how much time you have during the school day to commit to your vocabulary lesson. Vocab Videos offers teachers flexibility in that it can be used within the classroom, or assignments (watching videos, taking quizzes, creating flashcard sets, completing worksheets etc.) can be given to students to complete outside of school. Here are a few of our suggestions for implementing Vocab Videos into your classroom:
- Use a Word of the Day format as a starter exercise
- Play an episode on your SMART Board and give a quiz
- Assign a chapter as homework for students to access using their personal accounts
