Engage your students as soon as they walk in the room with these vocabulary in context weekly bell ringers that will last you the entire school year! The bell-ringers allow students to guess the meaning of two new vocabulary words in context, then look up the words to see if they were correct! The resource also includes task-card format, so they can easily be used in a reading or writing station.

 

INCLUDED IN YOUR PURCHASE: 

• A 40 slide Powerpoint presentation. Each slide has two sentences using a new vocabulary word. Students guess the meaning of the word based on how it is used in context, then look up the word to see if they are correct! 

• Each of the 40 slides are also in task card format for easy use in a center in your classroom. 

• A ready-to-print booklet (organized by week) so students can keep it in their binder to complete them as bell-ringers. 

EXAMPLES OF SOME OF THE WORDS INCLUDED

→ Haughty

HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE: 

1. Tuesday Terms: Pass out the bell-ringer booklet version to your students at the start of the year. Introduce one of the slides to your class per week for 40 weeks as bell-ringers. Everyone guesses the meaning of the word, then looks up the definition (also included on the slide when you click next).

2. Writing/Reading Centers: Include a packet of the task cards at a center where students can choose which ones to work on. The work can be done on the task card or using the work booklet. Print out 6 slides per page on Powerpoint (option provided when you print) and keep a definition booklet for students to check. 

3. Pair Work: Give each pair of students a task card and have them complete it together. Then, each pair can present the words to the class.
