It’s an extraordinary application that students, particularly second-language learners, can use to easily create their own picture dictionary. Write in a word, choose from a ton of different presentation styles, and you get countless images representing that word. Even better, you can email the link and create your own picture dictionary. -Larry Ferlazzo
Learner Profile : Promethean Planet
This is an easy and fun way to get to know your students! Use the gingerbread person dye cut for this project. It creates a good point of discussion as the students cannot (usually) find anyone that looks just like them - everyone is different and learns differently.
Activity Boxes
When deciding what themes to use – pick ones that are the kids favorites, ones that you use over and over, themes that they use in preschool, and themes that you have extra books for already. To get ideas, check out activity boxes and kits in other libraries before starting yours. Get ideas for consolidating various boxes. Check their boxes for themes and what they use for realia.
Walk This Way! : Wordshop : Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus
Teachers, looking to get students out of their seats and learning some new words? Try introducing pantomime as a vocabulary-enriching activity. As Beck, McKeown and Kucan point out in Creating Robust Vocabulary, "physically responding to words can promote connections to new word meanings."
Obviously, this type of activity lends itself to teaching verbs. For example, if you display the Visual Thesaurus word map for walk and click on the meaning "use one's feet to advance; advance by steps," students will be introduced to a whole host of words for different ways of walking that they can learn and act out.
Geometrical activities with string
In many cultures there is a tradition of using a loop of string to make string figures and many of the patterns formed in this way can be the starting point for geometrical activities. Many of the patterns contain examples of triangles or quadrilaterals.
