Keywords: English
Subject(s): English/Language Arts
Grades 9 through 12
School: Carlyle High School, Carlyle, IL
Planned By: Gina Shook
Original Author: Eileen Jones, Oak Lawn
Students will be given three vocabulary words. In a video skit, they will need to demonstrate these three words in context. The skit should use the words cohesively and the plot of the skit should indicate the meaning of the words.
Students will use any rudimentary form of video they have (i.e. cell phone, flip cam, digital camera with video feature or starndard camcorder.)
In addition to the video, students will need to contribute three quiz questions that will help create a larger compilation test at the end of the unit.
Comments
We approach this lesson in hopes of mimicking the Video Vocab lesson. We recognize that the creation of these videos in our classroom would be rudimentary compared to the vocabulary product available through Digital Wish. Our hope is to obtain the vocabulary system offered through Digital Wish in order to supplement our very basic attempt at a similar idea.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
This lesson plan could be used for any curricular area.
This lesson could be used in our PSAE prep class to identify higher level vocabulary words often seen on standardized tests.
