Sorry, I completely forgot to post this last week.
The best way to teach vocabulary at the grade level I am currently working in I believe would be to have students find words they don't know. This would provide some intrinsic motivation for students to allow them to learn words they want to know. So I would have students take notes of words as they read the chapter. Each student should find 5 words in each chapter. The students would then be responsible to first write a definition of what they believe the word means from the context and then write the dictionary definition for the words. Finally words that are unique and not chosen by others students so one list of each individual word could be written on a projector or the board and discussed.
