Vocabulary Unit

Literature and Vocabulary Unit

Book: There's No Place Like Space!
Author: Dr. Seuss

Standards:
 0.1.1.1  Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
0.1.4.4  Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone.

Dr. Seuss is always a fun read along author or story to use for the students. Through this book I hope the students continue to develop a better understanding of space throughout out space unit. This book will lead into a fantastic vocabulary activity the students will really enjoy as it involves fun space themed words. 

The above vocab words with accompanying pictures will be converted into this fun "rocket book". I would edit the "rocket book" to have an area where the students practice writing the space themed vocab words. 

This Vocab unit will provide:

• Listening vocabulary from hearing the book read aloud.
• Visualized vocabulary from being able to see the words printed with pictures.
• Writing vocabulary by providing the students the opportunity to write out the vocab words.
• Speaking vocabulary by sounding out the words and saying them aloud.
