Having a solid grasp of vocabulary is the foundation of learning a new language. With Lucidspark, there are countless ways for you and your students to learn, use, and practice new vocabulary words.
One of my favorite options for brand new words is to have students create a Frayer model for each one. Here are some example templates in English, Spanish, and French:
Frayer models are super versatile - you can change each of the four corners to be whatever is best for your students and their needs. In these examples, I chose to have a translation, a sentence, some examples, and some non-examples. The examples and non-examples can be images or words/phrases, depending on the type of vocabulary.
Here are some filled-in examples in French - one using Lucidspark’s image search option and one using Lucidspark’s Pen (freehand drawing) option:
After students have filled in their Frayer models, you can encourage further practice by having them copy and paste the images elsewhere on the Lucidspark board to use as flashcards, Pictionary, or any other method of practice.
