Looking for another way to introduce academic vocabulary? Word Hunt is our latest routine that combines clue-based guessing, image analysis and discourse to hook students into learning new words. The routine includes three different phases, with phase one focused on students making inferences about what these new words might mean.
Social Studies teacher Michelle Nguyen at TYWLS Bronx used Word Hunt for her unit on foreign policy. Below you will find links to our first vocabulary-focused routine on the website, as well as Michelle's lesson slides and a video of her students in action.
