Class Discussion: Meaning Vocabulary

     It has been awhile since we were in class, but it was refreshing to come back. Today's class discussion was on meaning vocabulary. Discussing about meaning vocabulary is important, because students need to know what they are reading. There were a couple of approaches to teaching vocabulary that were mentioned in class that caught my attention: word walls and context clues. Word walls is one of the approaches that I liked the most, because it helps students learn how to say, spell, and read the word. I would definitely use a word wall in my classroom. Context clues is another approach that will help students know the meaning of a word. Context clues provides clues in a sentence that can help a student if they are having difficulty in finding the meaning. Once I become a teacher, I will definitely use these approaches.
