transition of fading in and fading out effects. And flash to the next slide of

dramatic question

Introduction
Title/Captions: Interactive Word Walls? Why?

Narration: You may ask, we have word walls

already, why we need to use this one? Before I
answer this question, I want to tell you what
interactive word walls are.

Dramatic Question
Title/Captions: None

Narration: : The traditional word walls are like this and

this, they are a list of vocabulary displayed somewhere
in a classroom. They don’t have any meanings,
connections or explanations. Most students and teachers
will even forget this. So that is why we are having this
new kind of word walls-interactive word walls.

Music: none

Notes: Flash to the examples of traditional interactive

word walls, no music, the same animation effect.
Title/Captions: none

Narration: As we can see from those two examples,

there are huge differences between two kinds of word
walls. First, the interactive one organizes words and
connects with each other. This connection can help
students understand each word and be able to use some
of them in sentences. Second, it has the visual artifacts.
The interactive one includes the pictures or photographs
next to each word as visual examples. It can definitely
help students connect real lives with words and
memorize them better.

Narration: So now, we know the difference

between two kinds of walls, I will answer the
question I mentioned earlier- why should we
use it? 1. During the lesson, students are able to
look at the wall, so they can participate in
classroom activities. 2.Because they are able to
practice, students can analyze and interpret data
for constructing explanations

Music: free sound effect called inspiration on
wevideo.com

Notes: upbeat music as transition from what to

why? and show the slide of a list of 2 benefits

Benefit
Title/Captions: none

Narration: 3. Especially for ELLs, It benefits them

most when vocabulary instruction is contextually rich
and cognitively demanding. 4.With illustrated
connection and visual supports, students can gain deeper
understanding and strengthened comprehension.

Music: free sound effect called inspiration on

wevideo.com

Notes: : upbeat music as transition from benefit to how

to create one, and show the next slide with transition
effect.

Benefit
Title/Captions: none

Narration: Now, the exciting part- we need to learn how to use it. There
are several steps.
1. Look over the teaching materials to find possible words.
2. Have a team meeting with other teachers to decide the list of words.
3. Sketch the frame of the word walls
4. Find the visual examples, like image or photographs for each word.
5. Either teachers connect each word and picture together or students
create one at the end of the unit.
6. last, hang the word walls up in the classroom or in the hall way.

How to create
Title/Captions: none

Narration: Now, I hope you understand the concept of interactive

word walls better. Implementing this tool in the classroom can help
students most, especially ELLs. I suggest teachers have this on the list
of their planning considerations and search online for more examples.
