By studying, illustrating and using ancient Chinese words and their definitions students' will increase their understanding of Chinese culture, history, achievements, and geography. In this activity, students will create a storyboard that defines and illustrates vocabulary words related to the study of ancient China.
Students will preview the ancient China definitions and use whole class or small group discussion to demonstrate their understanding of each with this vocabulary builder activity on early China. Then, students will create a spider map of 3-5 terms (or more!) at the teacher's discretion. Each cell will contain a term related to ancient China, its definition, and an illustration that depicts the meaning. When students define and illustrate each term, they will master the application of it and retain it as part of their lexicon.

Kako Razlikovati Vocabulary Spider Maps
Dajte Učenicima Popis Pojmova na Izbor
Prije nego počnu s paukovom kartom, dajte učenicima popis pojmova iz rječnika na izbor. To će uštedjeti vrijeme kada treba odlučiti koju terminologiju uključiti.
Uključite Uvjete u Naslovne Okvire
Neki će učenici imati koristi od već odabranih riječi za njih. Učitelji mogu uključiti riječi u unaprijed izrađeni predložak, a učenici će definirati i ilustrirati.
Uključite Definicije u Okvire Opisa
Za učenike koji se muče s čitanjem odlična je opcija dati definiciju i dati im samo ilustraciju. To im omogućuje da pokažu svoje razumijevanje bez vizualnog načina.
Dodaj Više Ćelija
Za one učenike koji žele ili trebaju dodatni izazov, dodajte predložak s više ćelija! Što više riječi mogu definirati, to više nauče i zapamte.
Često postavljana pitanja o rječniku drevne Kine
Kako vokabular utječe na razumijevanje?
Kada uče o novim mjestima, ljudima i povijesnim događajima u društvenim znanostima, kao što je drevna Kina, učenici će se sigurno susresti s mnogo novih i nepoznatih riječi. Učenje novog vokabulara ključno je za povećanje razumijevanja pročitanog. Učenici ne mogu razumjeti ono što čitaju ili uče ako ne znaju što većina riječi znači. Eksplicitna poduka vezana uz vokabular ključna je za razvijanje temeljitog razumijevanja novih koncepata društvenih studija.
Kako učitelji mogu pomoći učenicima u usvajanju vokabulara?
Razvoj vokabulara je temelj za sve predmete, a posebno je važan u društvenim predmetima. Učenici stječu novi vokabular kroz izlaganje jeziku iz niza materijala za čitanje, rasprava i prezentacija. Također je korisno pregledati nove termine i koncepte s kojima će se učenici susresti i eksplicitno podučiti njihove definicije. Većina učenika vizualno uči i korištenje scenarija s vizualnim vokabularom pomoći će im da zadrže informacije za buduće primjene.
