Being a teacher is full of ups, downs, and in betweens. I love the look on a students face when they learn how to read. I love when students can solve problems on their own. I absolutely love when students feel proud of their work, and want to share it with the class. This blog is going to be full of moments in the classroom, pictures, and sometimes videos. Take everything with a grain of salt, as it is my opinion & reflections.
Loved this lesson, as this is probably one of my favorite things to teach in vocabulary- "shades of meaning." Basically, you take a root work, or base word, and theme other words around it, and then have the students work collaboratively to put them in order from least powerful to most powerful, based on connotation or denotation. Check out the video of this student debating the order:
