Writing with Clicker - Word Banks (2)
Sequence an event or account
Use word bank grids to put together an account or sequence of an event. With each grid focusing on a specific element, you concentrate on the key words or phrases for an area, before adding your account of the event using the next grid.
Or use pop-up grids, as in this example – each grid contains a starting sentence, linked to a related pop-up word bank.
Extend vocabulary
As a class or group, decide on alternatives for words. Add the words to the word bank, as in this ‘alternative adjectives’ example.
Support keyboard writing
Word bank grids support writing by providing words that learners may have difficulty spelling, or key words that enable them to complete all elements of the topic.
