  • Getting Ready to Read Extending Vocabulary
    (Creating a Word Wall)
  • Grade 8
  • A word wall is a display listing key words that
    will appear, often in a new unit of study.
  • They are usually listed alphabetically. It is
    suggested that in the music classroom, the
  • word wall consist of music related words.
    Temporary lists of other non-music content
  • words may be posted for the duration of the unit.
  • Purpose
  • Identify unfamiliar vocabulary and create a
    visible reference in the classroom for words that
    will appear often in a topic or unit of study.
  • Payoff
  • Students will
  • practice identifying words which are unfamiliar
    or confusing to them.
  • learn the meaning of key words in the text.
  • improve comprehension and spelling because the
    key words remain posted in the classroom.
  • use appropriate vocabulary associated with
    program music in writing and discussions.
  • improve musical understanding.
  • improve understanding of future texts read.

  • Further Support
  • If it appears that students will need additional
    support review the terminology on the word wall
    in the two classes following this activity using
    Think/Pair/Share in Think Literacy
    Cross-Curricular Approaches, Grades 7-12.
  • Examples of possible five minute word wall
    follow-up activities
  • Match the definition
  • have students match definition cards to words on
    the word wall
  • Guess the word
  • give the students clues to guess the word to
    reinforce spelling, usage and meaning
  • example word movement
  • Clue 1-This is a two syllable word. (Ask for, and
    write guesses down.)
  • Clue 2-It has eight letters. (Ask for, and write
    guesses down.)
  • Find a part of speech
  • Ask students to write down five verbs from the
    wall
  • Understanding related words
  • Ask students to identify root words and create
    related words by adding prefixes and suffixes
  • example word compose
  • Write the noun form of this word. (composer, or
    composition-discuss er or or added to a verb
    usually means one who does)
  • Write the past tense of this word. (composed)
    (Discuss ed ending)
  • Word Sorts (This could be a longer activity.)
