Basic+Story+Vocabulary


 * Vocabulary **

There are several options for reinforcing the vocabulary in the story From Seed to Plant by Gail Gibbons.

Option 1

[|Flip Book] – create different sheets for each vocabulary word.

Teach students to use Flip Book. Illustrate each vocabulary word on a separate page. Use the Drawing Tools to create a picture. Add a sentence in the title box or on the page to show the correct meaning of key words used in the story. Students can also use these options to demonstrate their understanding of the diagrams used in From Seed to Plant. Work cannot be saved once you leave the program. Print your work to save it.



Add a vocabulary word to each white box, then click Add a Page Label for each new word. If you make a mistake, backspace and then click inside the box again to finish the word. Hit Next to go on. You can’t add pages if you hit Next, so make sure you have all of your words typed. Select ** color ** to print your pictures even though we are not finished yet. Your choice will be saved for later.



** You can’t save your work online, so you have to print the pages you finish. Your work can’t be finished later. Once you exit the project it will be gone. **
