Modelling Use of CT/CS Vocabulary

Modelling Use of CT/CS Vocabulary

Front: Using the language of the discipline sets expectations and develops content knowledge in CS.

Back: Model CT and CS vocabulary, even outside of formal CS lessons (I can't get the smartboard to work. Let's debug!). Use vocabulary-building strategies like word walls, frayer models, visuals, and Total Physical Response (using physical movement to react to verbal input). Reinforcing vocabulary is a great opportunity to bring in translanguaging strategies such as multilingual word walls, allowing students to come up with their own translations, and providing opportunities for semantic mapping and comparing root words and cognates.
