Vocabulary Journal - Frayer Model
Description of
Learning Activity
The Frayer Model consists of a vocabulary word in a center circle with
four squares surrounding it with titles like definitions, examples,
characteristics, non-examples, illustrations, and more (Westby, C). This
model offers customization to the desire of the teacher and the ability to
differentiate to meet the needs of students. It can be utilized with students
before, during, and after a concept is introduced. Most commonly this
model is completed on paper, however, it can be created digitally as well
in Google Slides.
The teacher can model this when new concepts are being introduced to
students. Via doc cam or Google Slides, the teacher should complete a
Frayer Model for a vocabulary word. The teacher should talk students
through each step to completion. This will serve as a guide to students in
filling out the model for additional vocabulary words. Once completed,
the models can be an aid to students to refer back to when they need a
refresher. Taking it a step further, all completed models can be put in a
journal, either a digital journal or physical notebook, for students to
access whenever they need additional support. A digital journal does not
limit students from accessing outside of the classroom.
