The teacher modeled how students would use their dictionaries. The teacher then modeled tracing the vocabulary word and drawing a picture that helped students remember what the word meant. Students were then given time to complete the selected word. The class worked one word at a time until all eight spring vocabulary words were completed.

In addition to preprinted words for students to trace, the image could have been inserted next to the word. This would have allowed lower students to simply color the image associated with the word. This lesson focused on vocabulary development through writing
