Vocab+Video+Project

 =Vocab Video Project Ideas= Both of the below options can be used in conjunction with each other. Illustrating in a video the definitions of words and using images to define words can help the students remember and use their vocab words properly.


 * Reading/Language Arts option #1 **Make the students illustrate the definition of a word or words in their vocab list. Create a video illustrating this.

** Reading/Language Arts option #2 **Have them define words and compare them to another event or problem ie… A literary comparison. Use the netbook to collect images and media that help describe a vocab word, such as showing a picture of a bunch of fire ants and what it looks like when you are stung by them (see below). Display the dictionary definition and use imagery to help define the word in a video.  **//Option #1 //** Excruciating means: // Your definition: //A lot of pain! //Dictionary definition: // **//–adjective //** **1. ** extremely painful; causing intense suffering; unbearablydistressing; torturing:  //an excruciating noise; excruciatingpain.// <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2. **<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">exceedingly <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">elaborate <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">or <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">intense; <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">extreme: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> //done withexcruciating care.// <span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
