I have had a call or 2 about the vocabulary cards and the different sections. Open your notebook to p.4. and look at your example cards while you read this.
You do not have to write the titles of the sections, like definition, date, etc. Just put the date where the sample card says date. Write the definition in the box that says definition on your sample.
On side 1, where it says phonetic spelling, this is where you write how the dictionary says to pronounce this word. For the word "car" you would write (kahr). This is how the word "car" is pronounced. This is it's phonetic spelling.
Also on side 1, you will see a section titled "Connection Words." Ask yourself these questions:
Can I make a connection between this word and something I have read? Where might I find this word? Can I make a connection between this word and something in my life? How can I remember this word?
Still using the word car as an example, connection words could be automobile, transportation, vehicle, etc.
On side 2, the bottom 2 sections are also to help you remember the word and its definition. Again using the word car, in the section entitled "What it is," you could draw a labeled picture of a car, you can describe a car, etc. In the "What it isn't" section, if you know of more than one definition for the word car, you list or draw things that are NOT using this definition. For example, for this definition of car, it is NOT describing a train car, a toy car, etc.
We will share the cards in class this Friday (10/5) and compare your ideas for each.
