So, I officially have my first Quizlet vocabulary set to use with my class. I decided to start with Science since there seems to be a lot of new vocabulary. We are currently working on the Astronomy Unit and I included words that we have already discussed in class along with words that will come up this week. Once the words were entered, I created my class and now I will be able to add as many study sets that I want to include throughout the year. What is great is that, I won't have to create new study sets year after year. They will already be here unless I delete them! The name of my class is : Mrs. Quinn's 5th Grade J-D. Feel free to go to quizlet.com and find my class study set!
a What the students can do to begin is, look at the list of vocabulary words. They can 'star' words they want to study together, they can listen to the word and the definition or I can record my own voice with the word, definition and any additional information I want to share with them. Once they have entered the set there are many different activities to choose from. I will share one of them with you now. The name of the game is Scatter. In this game, all of the words and definitions are scattered throughout the page. The students have to drag the words to their corresponding definitions while a timer is displayed in the corner of the page. The idea is to clear the page and the timer will stop. After completing multiple rounds, the hope is that it takes less and less time the more familiar the words become. I like this because although it is a competition... it is against yourself and not other kids. Try it!
