Okay I admit to being a wee bit “Over the Hill” and growing up using those boring rote memorization flash cards. These days there are so many other avenues one can take to support the learning of vocabulary. I like having fun and know the kids do too! Google Slides presents an opportunity for the students to play and be creative while making a vocabulary study tool. Here is a simple animation idea which supports both the students critical thinking skills along with having “Good Old Fashion Fun Creating!”
RULES TO CREATE ANIMATED VOCABULARY STUDY CARD
- The students are provided with a vocabulary word and definition
- They need to find an image to represent the meaning of the vocabulary word
- The student creates a slide presentation
- Must include stop animation motion
- No more than one slide animation action
- Limit the amount of slides used
- Not less than 5
- No more than 7
- Students can work on one big slide presentation with slides assigned to them
- Work in smaller groups
- Small group slides can be combined into one big presentation
- This will provide a shared study resource for all the students
HERE IS THE LAYOUT OF MY SLIDE PRESENTATION
