7th Grade Humanities Students have Fun Improving Vocabulary




      Students in 7th grade Humanities are required to learn a new set of vocabulary terms, related to a theme in Social Studies and/or Language Arts, each quarter. Mr. White and Mrs. Ross are always looking for new and interesting ways to help the students review the terms on a weekly basis. More recently, they tried Quizlet.live. It's a fun way for students to practice recognizing the definitions, working as a team, and competing with their classmates. Once students are logged in, the program automatically puts them into teams, each one named after an animal. Once the game begins, the students must work together to find the correct definition for each term. Thus, the "race begins" as they can watch live progress of their teams as they play. The fastest one with all the correct answers wins! It's a fast-paced, effective, and exciting way to review vocabulary and use technology in the classroom.
