Vocabulary is the body of words used in a particular language. The English language is the hardest to learn because we have so many words that sound alike but have very different meanings. I am reminded of what a great comedian, Ron White once said in his act. He told a funny joke when he expressed that he wished he knew the difference between anecdote and antidote because his friend that suffered a snake bite would still be alive. The funny comes in play because one is a joke and the other is a remedy. Imagine telling your friend a joke instead of getting him a cure, all because you don't know the difference in the definitions.
For my Artifact I chose to include some ideas from Pinterest that are sure to be helpful and fun when teaching students about vocabulary. I love pinterest because it is like heaven for teachers. It is a place where we can go to share ideas, and learn some new "Tricks" to teaching
