Justin and I finished the book trailer for our book "The Number Devil." I've learned yet another wonderful tool to use in my classroom. Justin and I began this project by playing around with separate movies before agreeing on the final script. The book trailer captures the audience's attention right off the bat. I can't wait to see the movie :)
My topic for the Reader/Writer's Project is "What are some effective and viable building block strategies for teaching math vocabulary that I can use to help my students attain content literacy?" In the past, I taught vocabulary rather passively in math (not in reading), but now I realize the necessity in students taking a more active role in their vocabulary learning process, utilizing background knowledge and connections that work for them so that they can have an arsenal of vocabulary that makes sense to them. I want students to be better equipped before they read the text and before taking part in explicit lessons.
If anyone would like to write to me about their ideas for teaching vocabulary, your comments are welcome.
