CHapter 9 in WK

The part I found interesting in chapter was "using graphic organizers is a good idea to learn new vocabulary words." 

The reason I found this to be a good idea is because using a graphic organizer is great way to be organized when learning new vocabulary words. It is helpful for students to learn in this way because it is very visual. It also is a more fun way to learn new vocabulary words. One way I used this when working with a student was picking out words I thought they wouldn't know then helping them figure out what they mean and how to say them. Knowing exactly how to say the words helped her figure out what the words really meant. Finally, graphic organizers help with vocabulary by helping all learning styles. It helps with visual learners and learners who need to write things down. Also, this could be done with partners which could help learners with different needs. Graphic organizers are a great way to learn vocabulary words for every kind of student.
