Chapter 9: Vocabulary

Vocabulary is so important to learn and teach but it can be such a pain for both teacher and student. Most teachers rely on simply giving lists of words and definitions to student for them to memorize and this is most likely the worse way to do it. Instead, we should encourage students to learn vocab by introducing different ways. This chapter discusses a few different strategies or tips for teaching vocab, such as word tree, Words Across Contexts, or even how to use context clues (something we've all learned about) in a different way

I liked the Words Across Contexts strategy the best and feel like it could also be used for homophones. I think this is also something that could really make a student interested in learning vocab because if they are coming up with their own examples, then they will most likely remember the word better.
