Word Association & Images (Discussion)
How do students decide what kind of images to look for?
- Concrete words: tornado, capillary
- Abstract words: nebulous, justice
(Ask the teachers to come up with ideas for how they would illustrate these words).
What if a child cannot think of an idea for an image? What strategies would you use?
Strategy: Can you use it in a sentence? What is a good example of this word?
Point out additional strategies at Contextual Aids to Word Meanings (Strategies appear to be along the order of Blooms Taxonomy). These strategies can lead to richer descriptions by the students.
