(You can change this section to a picture or video with a video link.) 4. Wring the meaning of the term in their own words (Student DOES NOT LOOK UP THE DEFINITION.) 5. Researching a picture or video of how the student sees the meaning of the term (picture and/or video) 6. Synonyms of the term 7. Antonyms of the term 8. Writing how the term is used in the real world (complete sentence) 9. Mid-Self Metacognitive Assessment (How well do they think they know the meaning of the term Scale 1-4) 10. Writing the definition of the term in their own words. 11. Final-Self Metacognitive Assessment (How well do they think they know the meaning of the term Scale 1-4). I have included an example Frayer Model and 20 blank templates for your usage. Enjoy!!
