Different Ways to Learn Vocabulary in the Classroom

Graffiti Word Wall 

from Learning Tasks

Graffiti Criteria

1- Word is drawn using bubble letters

2- Definition in own words

3- At least three images representing vocabulary

4- All white space colored in

I like the idea of a Graffiti Word Wall! The creativity is a great way to promote learning. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I would like each kid to do each word to help their understanding, but who has time for that? This might be a great activity to do after the vocab has been learned or at the end of a unit.

Crossword Puzzles

I REALLY like this idea! Have the students use their own definitions for the words and create their own styled puzzle.
