Soon, the students of 6.1 and 6.2 will be creating their own short stories. Ahead of that, we are looking for ways to enhance our vocabularies so our stories contain exciting and descriptive language. This is where Words Worth Knowing comes in. This is a monthly challenge that contains ten words that have come from class conversations and lessons. Each word is featured on a Google Slides or Keynote slide and contains a variety of valuable information about the word. Students research the word and create sentences that demonstrate their personal understanding of each word. Once we have researched each word, we have a fun Jeopardy-style game.
