ASSESSMENT
These vocabulary activities do not need to be graded. They are intended for formative practice. If you need to assign points for the work, just give credit for whether or not students met the requirement of the simple prompt. If students do not meet the requirement, ask them to revise and resubmit. You can easily add a basic rubric in Google Classroom or add comments to the slides.
This resource is not intended to bog anyone down - teacher or student - with unnecessary grading! It is intended to give everyone involved a better understanding of how students are connecting with their words and transferring their learning.
WHO IS IT FOR?
This resource is for any middle or high school student who needs more interaction with their words to make learning sticky! The goal is to challenge students to think from unique angles about the words they are studying so that they remember the definitions long after the unit assessment has passed.
This resource was created for ELA classes, but it can also be useful if you are teaching another subject area and looking for creative ways for students to demonstrate understanding of your course vocabulary. This free download has a sampling of the types of prompts you will find in this digital resource.
