SAT Vocabulary Collaborative Study Guide
Time: 60 minutes
Context: The students are high school aged, Chinese students studying at an American school in Los Angeles.
The class has 10 boys and 4 girls. The course is designed to build students academic reading,
writing, critical thinking, and SAT prep skills. It is also meant to introduce and familiarize students
with different aspects of American culture. The students have access to their own mobile/personal

devices and Internet, and the classroom is equipped with a TV, DVD player, and portable projector
with Chromecast.
Outcomes:
SWBAT memorize and learn vocabulary words using images to aid memory and comprehension.
SWBAT search read the Internet for relevant vocabulary examples.
SWBAT present the meaning of vocabulary through images, sentences, and dialogue both orally and through
writing.
SWBAT collaborate to create SAT study guides using current technology.
Materials: 10 SAT level vocabulary words, projector, students personal devices, Chromecast streaming device,
Google Drive/Slides, paper and pens.
Key Technology:
Students personal devices- I thought it was important to utilize the technology that students are most
comfortable with. I also believe that students should leave class with the ability to own their learning, and this
lesson allows them to see how easy it is to do that. Wiley (n.d.) stated, “ They (young learners) are more
engaged in learning when using the latest technological gadgets, because it is what they are most used to
interacting with. Our students don’t just want mobile learning they need it”(n.p.).
Projector- The projector makes it possible for the entire class to see what everyone is doing, and to utilize the
study materials the class is making together.
Chromecats streaming device- Chromecast allows multiple devices to share their screens on the projection
when they are using Google Chrome. This gives my students and myself the ability to share ideas, information,
and images with ease.
Chromecast App- This app is free and easy to download, and is required for screensharing.

Google Drive/Slides- Google Drive is such a useful tool that students should be familiar with it for the sake of
convenience, the fact that many teachers use this as the only means of turning in assignments, and Google
Docs/Slides makes it easy to collaborate, which is perfect for classroom projects.
Assumptions: Students have already setup a Google Drive account for accessing shared documents, they have
Google chrome, the Chromecast app and the Google Drive app on their own devices, and practiced sharing
their screens in a previous class.
SAT Vocabulary Collaborative Study Guide:
Activity Teacher Students Time
Warm-up/Practice Make sure students are logged into
Chromecast and write the word
‘funny’ on the board. Ask students
to take a few minutes to find an
image using their devices that
show the word funny. Then,
explain to students that they will
be doing something similar to help
them learn and remember how to
use their SAT vocabulary
Have students Chromecast their
images to the projector and enjoy
the humor of their classmates.
8 minutes
Set-Up: Provide students with a list of 10
SAT vocabulary words (appendix
b).
-Break Students into groups of 2
or 3, and assign them 2 of the
vocabulary words.
Students move their seats into
groups.
4 minutes
Presentation: Show an example slide (see
appendix A) and explain to
students that they will be working
Students can ask questions or for
any assistance they might need.

together to help each other learn
SAT vocabulary and create a class
study guide for the words. They
will be using their mobile devices
to find the definition, 2 images
that relate to their words, 2
authentic examples (sentences
found in different resources), and
1 original example sentence of
how to use the word in real-life,
and then put the information into a
shared slide presentation on
Google Drive in Google Slides,
which the teacher has already
invited them to. The students
should be prepared to present their
slides to the class.
Production: The teacher will actively be
monitoring and helping the groups
to make sure they finish the task
in the given time frame.
All of the students in the group
can then research the words on
their own devices and share what
they have found with their group
members, narrowing down their
best options.
Once each group has agreed
upon the best materials, one or
multiple students will use their
device to create 2 slides in
Google docs. They will place
their images and example
sentences in the slide, and each
group will present their findings

to the class.
Production: The teacher will Chromecast the
finished slide show, so that
students can present.
Each group will present their
slides to the class.
15
Check Comprehension: Finally, split the class
into two teams and
present the students
with one of the
vocabulary words at a
time.
Have students race to find a
different picture than what’s on
the presentation to Chromecast on
the board, or make a sentence
using the word. Each picture
earns 2 points and each sentence
earns 5.
10
Homework: Review the slideshow for a quiz
the next day.
Review/ Informal Assessment: a) The next day, only display
certain images from the
presentation
b) Then, ask students to write
short dialogues with their partners
using 2-3 of the new words to
present to the class.
a) Students verbally give the word
that coordinates with the image
and provide sentences based on
the image
b) Students write and present
dialogues
20 minutes
Formal Assessment: Give a FIB quiz using all of the
words using Google docs.(See
appendix c for example quiz)
Students take the quiz on their
personal devices and then we
check the answers as a class when
finished using the projector and
Chromecast.
