  1. Presenter Notes • How this presentation could be used in education? This presentation represents an introductory lesson for vocabulary words. The word is put on the screen with a related image, but no definition to see how many students have prior knowledge of it. Then, the word is put into context by showing an example of it used in a sentence. The students work in small groups to come up with a working definition of the word. Finally, the definition of the word is posted on the screen for students to compare with their working definitions. • How the use of this presentation will make a positive impact on student learning? Every month, students are assigned fifteen vocabulary words and will working with those words in a variety of ways. My co-teachers and I have found it essential that we introduce the words to the whole class before they can begin their independent activities. However, this is often a dull and unconnected activity. By creating a PowerPoint presentation which asks them to make predictions and discuss definitions using context in pairs, it makes this activity more interactive and engaging. In addition, it addresses a variety of learning styles using clip art, oral instruction, interpersonal interaction, and oral descriptions to learn meanings of words.
