Introduction
Hi Class,
During class this week, we are going to be going on a scavenger hunt to find helpful websites to help us learn new vocabulary words through games or different types of learning methods, using these websites and seeing which one works best for all of you individually. These websites will serve as tools that you can use at home or in class to get a better understanding of your vocabulary words each week and also help your parents and I understand which type of learning works best for you. I am so excited to help you all set up your account so we can begin our scavenger hunt!
Task
Your Task is set up accounts together on Vocabulary.com, Adventure academy.com,and Turtlediary.com.
Once we set up you guys are free to play games, quiz yourself, do word searches and make note of which learning style was most fun and engaging? Thats where the scavenger hunting begins and we can begin learning more about our learning styles and figure out which way works best for us to retain information from our vocabulary words.
