Visual Vocab: Connecting students knowledge of words to their understanding of them
Tuesday July 9, 2024 10:45am - 11:45am EDT
514
Visual Vocabulary is a strategy that puts the emphasis on the students showing understanding- not simply knowledge. By encouraging students to draw pictures and symbols to represent new terms, teachers can help learners connect the word to its meaning more effectively. This visual representation serves as a mental anchor that aids in memory retention and understanding of the big idea behind a term. When students create visual representations of vocabulary, they are not just memorizing a definition; they are actively engaging with the concept, making it more meaningful and easier to recall in various contexts.
