TEACHER GUIDE K-12

ENGLISH - ENGLISH DICTIONARY.



I. INTRODUCTION

There are 50 activities. Twenty-five activities are for beginning dictionary

users, and 25 are for more advanced dictionary users. There are enough activities so

you can do a different one almost every week during the entire school year, with

very little repetition.

nstead of being organi!ed in alphabetical order, which can be very limiting

and too predictable, the activities are scattered throughout the book, " to #, e$cep

for the first few, to help with beginning basic practice.

nstead of being organi!ed by grade level, which also could be very limiting

the activities are divided into two sections%

&1' (asy to "verage

&2' "verage to "dvanced

)ith this type of division, you can be more fle$ible in selecting activities, you

will have more ideas from which to choose, and you will be able to challenge you

students without the artificial division by grade levels. These activities ar

appropriate for dictionary skills practice for students from *rd grade of primary

through the end of secondary+middle school.

There are individual activities for the whole class, or for a selected student toanswer, and there are group+team activities, where several students will form a team

giving a group answer.

emember, teachers, to vary the activities over the school year, you may do

every activity described here, or you may have several favorite ones that you use

regularly. "lso, remember, you need to use 100 (nglish in your class, including al

e$planations of the activities to your class.

our responsibility as an (nglish teacher is to make it necessary for th

students to listen and follow instructions in (nglish. f you provide e$planations in

/panish, you are putting a huge impediment in the way of the students progress and

fluency. /tudents need to need (nglish if they are to become fluent.



The key to maintaining student interest is to use short, focused, regula

dictionary practice. nce a week, all year long, for 10-15 minutes each session is a

good pace. /tudents will practice, they wont be bored with too long sessions, and

there will be consistent improvement, growth, speed, and accuracy in the use of thei

dictionaries.

HAVE FUN!

II. INCENTIVES / PRIZES

)inning the games should not cost the teacher or the school money. The goa

is that the students want to win simply for the sake of winning. /imple, low-cost

no-cost pri!es could include%

• eing first in line to leave the classroom...the individual or the team which

wins a game, can be first in line.

• 3ave students keep a sheet of paper in a notebook which is to be used 4

by the teacher to place a sticker, a star, an inked stamp image, a drawn happy-

face, or other indication of good work. "fter every month, a line is drawn

across the page, under any accumulated stickers, to begin a new month. The

goal is that the students are able to see their progress over the school year,

month by month.

• )inners can have 6privileges6 such as delivering a note to another classroom,

erasing the board for the teacher, passing out papers to the other students, etc.

• ften, a simple, 67reat work86, coming from the teacher, is seen as a reward

by students who crave recognition.

• ikewise, applause from the other students for a winning team &prompted by

the teacher' is another form of recognition for good work.

• 9ermitting a student &or team' that consistently wins contests, games, and

events in the class, to T(":3 an activity or game to their classmates is seen as

a great pri!e by some students.



• T3( 9#(/ /;77(/T(< "=(% are not only intended for winners of the

<:T4" activities, but for anything that the teacher believes is over and

above the regular work e$pected by all students, which are basic competencies

that every student should be able to achieve.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

III.ACTIVITIES

A. ACTIVITIES: EASY TO AVERAGE

1. The students will have a piece of paper, and will number down in a line, 1 - 10

efore beginning, the teacher may want to review and give e$amples of five terms

ordinal number, cardinal number, Roman numerals, irregular verbs, parts of speech

(noun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition…).

"lso, practice with the students saying numbers aloud, repeating after you. )rite

these 10 numerals on the board. /ay each one aloud, modeling for the students. Th

students will repeat.

2?, *5, 101, @2, AB, 111, 5A, BC, 125, C@

Then, students will write page numbers from the Table of Contents of theidictionary, as the Teacher asks 10 Duestions, shown below. /tudents should not say

aloud the page number, only write it for now.

)hen students are done with the 10 Duestions, the teacher will repeat each of the 10

Duestions, and the students will say aloud, together as a choral group, the number o

the page that responds to the Duestion. T3( E;/T (/94< 4 (47/3.

Teacher can provide guidance in (nglish, saying a number, and the students repeat itThe teacher should listen carefully that all students are saying the correct pag

number, and should observe well to assure that (=( student is actively

participating.

. CONCLUSION

)ith consistent practice using an EnglishEnglish !ictionary, students wilgain confidence, speed, and accuracy in dictionary usage. n third and fourth grades

regular, weekly practice needs to be provided by the teacher. n 5 th and Ath grades, o

secondary + (/ , twice a month practice may be all that the students need

depending, of course, on the dictionary skills they have when you receive them a

your students.

The goal is that all the students, from *rd grade and beyond, know how to us

the dictionary with speed and accuracy. nce you see that this has been achieved, iwill not be necessary to keep repeating activities for dictionary skills practice. "t tha

point of success with your students, it is time to move on to other challenges, such a

having students design crossword pu!!les or e$pand their creative writing skills.
