Vocab-all grades || It works really well with my geometry unit that has a great deal of definitions that go along with terms. I used this strategy during my Primetime unit. It was a great tool to reinforce students about Venn Diagrams.

This works well for preteaching classroom vocab as well as developing expressive language skills. I often use the strategy when teaching words that have multiple meanings (incl. homonyms). I have students include both definitions on the same page - the picture helps them recall the meanings. The definitions help with describing. We use the box on the bottom right either for examples or for sentences. ||
