Next time you want your students to demonstrate understanding of their vocabulary words, try this frayer model iPad activity.
This activity was simple to set up. Here's how to do it:
1. Open your Safari browser on your iPad.
2. Visit http://tinyurl.com/dfkg64 for the web template. I chose the one called "Web Diagram" for this activity.
3. Once you have the web diagram open full screen, in the top right of your screen, it says, "Open in Explain Everything." Click that:)
4. If you don't have Explain Everything (app) on your iPad, you can take a screen shot of the web diagram by holding down the home button of your iPad and clicking the power button. From there, you can insert your screen shot into a screen-casting app, such as Educreations:)
5. For me, since I have Explain Everything, I open the diagram in Explain Everything, then start adding text on top of the circles. Super easy!
6. In the middle circle, I typed the vocabulary word. I labeled the other circles with Definition, Example, Non-Example and Characteristics or Synonyms.
7. Model this activity with your students a few times, then assign to them in a station on a regular basis. They could look for vocabulary words in their library books, in their Science notebooks, Social Studies text, or any content area.
