Harness Students' Critical Thinking Skills and Close the Vocabulary Gap

This webinar is very informative and informational.

great material

Very interesting. Critical thinking skills, deductive reasoning - awesome method of learning vocabulary.

Critical thinking skills are important to life

There was a lot of useful information. Will I use it? Maybe if I am more acclimated to it, and find out what way to use it for the students I have in my classroom.

I did not care at all for the InferCabulary method of teaching vocabulary. Maybe it's because I'm more math oriented, but every word that the author was using to showcase how wonderful she thought the program was would have immensely confused me if I was learning the vocabulary words for the first time. For instance, the pictures for the word "prominent" all contained images that were vertical except for the picture of a woman's eyes. I would have thought about linking the yellow in the trees picture with the green in the woman's eyes, and I would definitely have thought about how all of the pictures depicted objects or people who were upright so I would have thought that the word "prominent" had something to do with upright or being vertical. I felt the same way about the other words too. The word "elaborate," for instance, used the picture of a beautiful, wrought iron gate. A child in poverty who has not traveled far from home may think that everybody's house except theirs has a gate. I didn't like it, and the author really, really, really enjoyed using her vast vocabulary. Too many syllables per minute!

Great one, comprehension and critical thinking are also vital in Math
