Strategy – Before and After Vocabulary Grids
Give each student a list of key words with two blank columns. In the first column, the students write the meaning of each word or their guess as to what the word means. As they come across the word later during the lesson, students can revise their original definition.
The benefits of Before and After Vocabulary Grids are that they:
-
focus attention on key words;
-
provide opportunities for students to actively work out word meanings; and
-
help students become independent learners of new words by using strategies such as context clues.
