Započinjanje jedinice ili lekcije s ključnim rječnikom koji će studenti vidjeti u svojim lekcijama ili prezentacijama pomaže u cjelovitom razumijevanju i zadržavanju. U ovoj aktivnosti studenti će stvoriti ploču priča koja definira i ilustrira ključni rječnik povezan s Lancima Laurie Halse Anderson.
Studenti će pregledati pojmove i definicije i upotrijebiti diskusiju cijelog razreda ili male skupine kako bi pokazali svoje razumijevanje svakog značenja. To se može učiniti na početku svakog poglavlja kako bi učenici mogli pregledati ono što će pročitati ili bi se učitelji mogli odlučiti na kraju poglavlja kao procjenu. Kad studenti definiraju i ilustriraju svaki pojam, svladavaju njegovu primjenu i zadržavaju ga kao dio svog leksikona.

Set up a dedicated space on your wall for vocabulary terms and student illustrations. This helps students see and interact with new words daily, reinforcing learning through visual cues.
Rotate classroom jobs so students are responsible for adding new words, definitions, and images. Active participation boosts ownership and ongoing engagement with vocabulary.
Incorporate quick games like ‘Vocabulary Bingo’ or ‘Guess the Word’ using terms from the wall. Gamifying review sessions keeps students motivated and reinforces word meanings in fun ways.
Ask students to relate each new term to something in their own lives or current events. Personal connections deepen understanding and make vocabulary more memorable.
Highlight student progress with small celebrations, like a ‘Word Master’ certificate or sharing favorite words. Recognizing effort encourages continued enthusiasm for learning new vocabulary.
The Vocabulary in Chains activity asks students to create a storyboard that defines and illustrates key terms from Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. This helps improve comprehension and retention by engaging students in both understanding and visualizing vocabulary.
To create a visual vocabulary board for Chains, choose three vocabulary terms, write their definitions in the description boxes, and illustrate each term using relevant scenes or characters. Use the storyboard format, then save and submit your assignment as directed.
Starting a lesson with key vocabulary helps students preview important terms they'll encounter, which boosts overall comprehension and aids in long-term retention. It also prepares students for upcoming readings and discussions.
Examples of vocabulary words from Chains include patriot, loyalist, indenture, providence, insolence, gangplank, churn, spinet, fatigued, betwixt, beholden, melancholy, curtsy, pestilent, thrash, domestic, confuddled, arsonists, and caterwauling.
Yes, teachers can use the vocabulary storyboard activity as an assessment at the end of a chapter to check students' understanding of key terms, or as a preview before reading to build vocabulary knowledge.
