"Bag and Tag" interactive word wall and "Windowpanes" hands-on graphic organizer
1. Bag and Tag Interactive
Word Wall
Students gather objects that are examples of
content-area vocabulary discussed in class.
Students review vocabulary by placing these objects
inside transparent bags on a word wall.
Students create a personal connection with the
content when their objects are placed on the wall for
display.
3. Windowpanes
Students draw eight sections on a piece of paper and
then they draw pictures that correlate with the
vocabulary word.
Students are able to view eight vocabulary words in one
area to make connections between concepts.
Sorting, classifying, and categorizing can be used to
encourage students to make a connection with the
subject matter.
Drawing pictures of vocabulary words helps confirm
student background knowledge and may help students
to conceptualize the meaning of vocabulary words.
