1 s Word Study notebook
2 Created by Hedy Laverdiere 2004 Rocket Launchers, 3rd Grade Within Word Pattern Rationale for the Word Study Notebook: The rationale for the Word Study Notebook is that it is a meaningful, purposeful daily tool for students to learn words. From the Bellwork at the onset of the day to the Homework after school, students will be immersed in words with activities structured for frequent repetition and extension. Sections of the Word Study Notebook: In addition to the Assignment Notebook, there are five additional sections in the Word Study Notebook. The Word Study Notebook will be used in class each day, as well as going home each evening, thus the Assignment Notebook section s purpose is to record any additional assignments as well as a Reading and Math Log. The other sections of the Word Study Notebook are Bellwork, Word Jail, Writing, Words, and Homework. Descriptions of each section follow: Bellwork The Bellwork section is to be utilized each morning as students come to class. Bellwork is their first work for the day. The purpose for Bellwork is to use the Making Words strategy from the 4 Blocks to extentend students learning and to recognize patterns. From a scrambled magic word, students are to make as many words as possible (including discovering the magic word ) using letter cards, and writing the words down. For fun, students use a gel pen on the black backgrounds. Word Jail The Word Jail section is an ongoing outlaw list of words that students will continue to add to. The purpose for the Word Jail is to recognize outlaws (oddballs) while word sorting, to reflect on why the words do not fit the other patterns of the words in the sort, to think of other words like the outlaw and to use the outlaw in a sentence to extend learning. As students work with words in sorts and other word activities, they will add the outlaws to the Word Jail and reflect on why the outlaws have gone to jail! The Outlaw s Gang is to list other words with a pattern similar to the Outlaw. To reinforce the word, they will write a sentence using the outlaw. Writing The purpose of the Writing section is to emphasize the importance of daily writing and to use spelling words, Word Wall words and content area words in context. There is a daily assignment of either writing a letter, writing a nonsense story, writing a persuasive letter, writing a reflection, and writing a sentence for the Around the Planet Writing Game. Simple, laminated rubric checklists are included in their Word Study Notebooks on a Ring of Lists for use with their writing assignments. The Around the Planet Writing Game is a class activity where each student creates a sentence. The classroom sentences compile a nonsense story. Students must use spelling or Word Wall words in their writing. Other writing assignments will be created for the three weeks to follow, with the resulting four writing assignment sheets rotated the following month. Writing assignments may also change based upon current content areas being studied. Words The purpose for the Words section is to work with words to recognize patterns in words. The Words section works with words from the spelling list which is comprised of 5 Word Wall words, 5 Word Sort words, and other content vocabulary or spelling words. From the Spelling Words form, a spelling Pre-Test is given on Monday, with the paper folded on the Pre-Test line to hide the spelling words. Incorrect words are circled and remain on the student s spelling list. For the number of correct words, students circle their own words from the Shopping List. The Shopping List words may also be comprised of Word Wall words, Word Sort words, or content vocabulary. Three Gourmet words are cho-
3 sen as challenge words. All circled words are transferred to both the School List and the Home List as the student s personalized spelling list. The Home List is sent home for studying. Daily activities include a cut and write word sort, working with their Study Buddy on sorts or flashcards, a classroom game of Hangman, and concludes with a Study Buddy-given spelling test. On Tuesday, students cut out the Word Sort words and sort the words under the worksheet with the keywords. Sorted words are transcribed on the Word Sort worksheet, with word cutouts stored in their Word Study notebook for future sorts. Homework The purpose for the Homework section is to make connections through meaningful, purposeful activities to reinforce classroom word study. The Homework section includes a homework activity sheet and Weekly Spelling Log to be signed by a parent. Students select from different point value activities for their daily homework. Activities are broken down into 5 Point Activities, 10 Point Activities, 15 Point Activities, and 20 Point Activities. 50 points earns an A, 40 points a B, and 30 points a C. Students total the points with their expected grade and parent signature and staple to their completed assignments. The Homework packet is due each Friday. Many other activities can be developed for this section. Curriculum Connection: A minimum of 5 content area words will be included in the weekly spelling list and added to the Word Wall. Students working with the content words in various activities such as word sorts, writing definitions, and creating crosswords, for example, will serve to connect the words across the curriculum areas such as social studies, science, math and language arts. Revisiting words: Words will be revisited in a monthly Heads Up, Spell Up game: 7 students are "it." They lightly tap one student each. Tapped students have to correctly spell a spelling word before they can guess who tapped them. and journal writing using past word lists. At the end of each quarter, the class will play Hollywood Squares. There are 2 contestants, 9 panelists, and one person to pass out the x's and o's, and the rest of the students are the studio audience. The contestants call on the panelist and they have to spell the spelling word. The contestant has to agree or disagree. Like the television version, the object is to get 3 x's or o's in a row. Utilization of the word study notebook: The Word Study Notebook will be used to assess students knowledge of words, patterns, and spellings. The weekly homework packet will be graded, as well as assessment of the Word Study Notebooks. The weekly spelling test will also be assessed. Observation of students working independently, with study buddies, as well as participation in weekly, monthly, and quarterly word games, serve as another form of assessment.
