Key vocabulary
Key vocabulary teaches the lesson's few important words before they are used: each word with a plain meaning and a picture.
The real slide Chalk makes, in the Classroom look. Every word is written for your lesson when you use it.
How to run it
- Say each word and have the class say it back.
- Give the meaning in pupils' own words, with an example.
- Use the word again, and ask pupils to, in the rest of the lesson.
Why it works
Pupils understand a text or an explanation far better when its key words were taught first, explicitly, with a meaning they can use.
In other subjects
