3. Use direct vocabulary instruction

4. 3 Dynamic Interactions at Play When Students Learn
Dynamic #1-Strength of the “memory trace”. The more times a student processes information, the more likely they are to remember it. Students need at least 4 exposures to information to retain it with no more than a 2 day gap in between.

5. Dynamic # 2- Depth of processing- Student adds detail to information if they can associate it with an experience.

6. Dynamic # 3- Elaboration-
A variety of
associations with the same information

7. Effective Direct Vocabulary Instruction
#1-Use descriptions instead of definitions.
Example: Covert
Definition-Kept from sight; secret; hidden
Description-Describes something that is done in a hidden or secret way
Disrupt
Definition-Break up; split
You try the description

8. #2-Vocabulary should be represented in linguistic and non-linguistic ways.
Linguistic: Using words to describe what something means to help students learn.
Non-linguistic: Using drawings, pictures, images, and anything other than words to describe what something means to help students learn.
