Vocabulary notebooks

This is a good opportunity to tell students how you expect them to record vocabulary. Tell them if you want them to keep a special section in their notebooks or to buy a separate notebook for vocabulary. Go over some ways of recording vocabulary (word spiders, labelled pictures, word + translation etc.) and let students use the one that they find most useful. And whatever system you use, don't forget to collect student notebooks regularly and check that they are keeping them up to date!
