Make an 8 1/2 x 11 size word for the word wall from the TSB vocabulary list. Word Wall Creation #1: Have several volunteers pass out construction paper and get out markers, crayons, old magazines, scissors, and glue. As materials are being passed out, place the Word Wall List #1 on the doc cam. Once everyone is settled, explain that we will be creating a Word Wall to decorate our classroom with. Explain what a Word Wall is and sketch a model of one on the doc cam. Students will be making one Word Wall creation based on ONE word on the list. Students will be assigned a word based on their number on the roll (which they will already know) so that each person does a different word. On the board or doc cam, write the requirements for their creations: 1. Must contain the vocab word 2. Must include a visual representation of the word 3. Must include the definition 4. Must include a sentence that uses the vocab word Students may work with peers/groups or individually, as long as they can keep the noise to a minimum. After students are done, have them post their creation to the space on the wall designated for the Word Wall.
