Holy Smokes, my pal Robert is smarter than me :> I didn't remember ever
seeing this on LM_NET and so didn't check the Archives. But Robert
knew! So here's the previous Word Wall hit (lightning speed!)
> Here is a listing of the words collected from everyone sorted by
> letter, but not alphabetical. I have tried to include all the ideas that
> were sent to me without judgment. I apologize in advance if I missed a
> word or two. You will note that there are a few words/terms that may be
> specific to a certain library.
>
> Some of the words may not be suitable for my school's K-5 library, but
> they may be helpful to others working at MS and HS levels. The list
> includes words for computer labs and media centers. I am relatively new to
> LMS-land (a former HS teacher) and I had very little experience with
> word walls!
>
> I am also posting a second part to this HIT with word wall
> implementation suggestions. Thanks to all who responded. Just when I
> thought I had
> every possible word, someone would email me with another great word to
> add to the list! LM_Net is awesome!

> Other comments about word walls:
>
> 1a. actually those are great words, but have the students create the
> word wall---that's how they learn. I think you can see a start on ours on
> My website--see address below and go to Inside the Library--it's the
> last picture on the bottom.

> 1b. the "word wall" is really at one end of a long white board.
> Students write the words on index cards--4X6 work best--brightly colored.
> Students write words they need to know and the definition and add it to the
> wall. I really only do this with fifth graders(or fourth), by then,
> they have a really good grasp of the library vocabulary, etc. Below are
> some web sites that may help you--of course they are developed for
> classrooms and have to adjust for the
> library lesson times.

> 2. As I understand the word wall, you would only add these after you
> used them in class. These are the start of what I expect students to know
> in 5th grade when they are ready to leave. For kindergarten, I'd do
> words like front, back, cover, spine, call number, folk tale, fairy tale,
> etc. This should give you some ideas.
>
> 3. I have mine divided in areas of the library depending on the
> activities that happen in that space.
>
> 4. Our district, in their push for literacy, would like a word wall in
> classrooms throughout the district K-12. It stands to reason that the
> media center would have one too. Thanks!
>
> 5. I wish I had time to think of more. You may try looking at
> webopedia.com for some more ideas.
