Cooperative Learning & Vocabulary
Stefanie McKoy
Are you looking to make your vocabulary instruction more engaging and memorable? Are you looking for a
vocabulary resource that covers the full range of words and vocabulary skills prescribed by the
standards? Look no further! These books provide ready-made, cooperative activities for: multiple meaning
words, Greek and Latin affixes and roots, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, collective plural nouns,
irregular pronouns, compound words, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, commonly misused words, and academic
vocabulary. Each section includes 20 grade-appropriate vocabulary words. To master the words in each
section, there are five ready-to-do activities based on Kagan Structures. Students quiz classmates using
Mix-N-Match and Quiz-Quiz-Trade. Teams use and practice their vocabulary as they play Fan-N-Pick and
Showdown. Partners take turns completing vocabulary worksheets using RallyCoach and Sage-N-Scribe.
Students put their new vocabulary words to work as they write and share their writing using
Think-Write-RoundRobin. Pick and choose a few activities per section, or use them all to ensure full
mastery for everyone. This is everything you need for a highly engaging vocabulary program that covers
the full range of vocabulary words and skills.
