This afternoon third grade word wizards are competing in the 2011 WordGirl Definition Competition! The event is a great way to engage students with vocabulary words in an entertaining and interactive context and have fun in the process! During the 30-minute live webcast, our class will play along, in real-time, by submitting answers online during the webcast—and may even be called out during the event!
The activities in the competition will help us:
• Understand the meaning of words
• Use textual context clues for correct word usage
• Leverage visual context clues to define words
• Draw on existing vocabulary knowledge
• Present vocabulary words in multiple and interesting contexts
By participating in the Definition Competition, our class and school will be automatically entered for a chance to win fabulous books and WordGirl prizes!
Ask your child to tell you a new word they learned this afternoon!
