Vocabulary for Kapok Tree

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, or at least six words---as in my vocabulary lesson. Students learn in a variety of ways and a very effective method is by using pictures. The vocabulary words that I choose, reflect the story in some way. Once learning the words, the students should have a mental picture of the story. Prior to actually reading the story, the students made a vocabulary picture that incorporated all the words and the setting. This was a great introduction to the story.
