week 10

I think that vocab is taught in book clubs by exposing students to new words and then having them find out what they mean.  We learn so many new words from reading.  For a lesson I would have students create a spot, either a piece of paper or a spot in a notebook.  While reading if they come upon a word that they do not know they will write it in the book along with the sentence that they found it in.  Then they will look it up and write the definition.  Then during book club they can all share the words they came across so that each student learns that word.  This will teach students to not be afraid of new words and it will help them expand their vocabulary.
