3. You Can Do It!-Encourage students to participate
actively in their vocabulary learning
Students remember words better when they connect
new meanings to knowledge they already have. This type of
active processing occurs when students work with words:
1. produce antonyms and synonyms
2. rewrite definitions
3. identify examples and non-examples of the word
4. use more than one new word in a sentence
5. create sentences that contain the new word
6. create scenarios or stories in which the word is used
7. create silly questions using the word
