6-STEP PROCESS FOR EFFECTIVE VOCABULARY INSTRUCTIONStep One – DESCRIBE• Provide students with a description,

explanation, or example (NOT a definition) using common language.• Tell a story that integrates the term•Use current events to help make the term applicable to something familiar to them•Describe your own mental pictures of the term• Find or create pictures that exemplify the term

Page 18: 6-Step Vocabulary

6-STEP PROCESS FOR EFFECTIVE VOCABULARY INSTRUCTIONStep Two – RESTATE• Students restate the description,

explanation, or example IN THEIR OWN WORDS• These steps may need to be monitored carefully for accuracy. It may take several conversations and some coaching before students are ready to permanently record their descriptions

6-STEP PROCESS FOR EFFECTIVE VOCABULARY INSTRUCTIONStep Three – SHOW/REPRESENT/PICTURE• Students represent the term non-

linguistically•Ask students to construct a picture, symbol, or graphic representation of the term or phrase•When possible, embed the word within the picture (cartoon bubbles)•Modeling this skill for students is important. Some feel they can’t draw and some want to over-draw.•Allow students to work together – less threatening

would like them to be thinking about these terms• After students have had time to think about the

terms, organize them into pairs and ask them to discuss their descriptions and images with a partner by comparing/contrasting and identifying areas of argument or in need of clarification• Ask students to share any new findings/clarifications
