The document discusses strategies for actively engaging middle school students with vocabulary words. It describes using techniques like jigsaw activities, guessing the meanings of words from context clues, creating 3D representations of words, and using word roots to help students learn both new and review words. Several specific vocabulary learning activities are outlined, including a QHT chart, vocabulary squares, and making comic strips to illustrate word meanings. The goal is to promote student engagement and understanding of important academic vocabulary.
