This is my puzzle for week 4's assignment - a way for teaching som difficult vocabulary in a text we are going to read in class. I've spotted the difficult words through vocabkitchen.com and my knowledge of what grade 9 students in DK normally find difficult. It's based on translating those difficult words to danish.

Hi Lisbeth,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your week four materials. It’s great to see how you used a vocabulary profiler and how it affected your approach to the task.
The article you’ve chosen is engaging and the crossword is great – but I’m wondering how they know which words to tanslate. Do they have to guess and then think of a translation and then count the number of letters?
I think I’d add more instructions.
I’d also consider having two versions of this activity – this oen and another one offering more support for students who need it. E.g. some letters already included in the crossword grid.
Katherine Bilsborough Thanks for commenting on my exercise - I agree with you that I have to make clearer which words to use. I now marked them in colour in the document, so besides combining them with the word translated the only task is to find the right form when looking at the translated word. In year 9 I think everybody will be able to solve it now.
ReplyDeleteKatherine Bilsborough I´ve enjoyed the idea of having two versions of the same activity.
