Created by Hedy Laverdiere 2004 Rocket Launchers, 3rd Grade Within Word Pattern
The rationale for the Word Study Notebook is that it is a meaningful, purposeful daily tool for students
to learn words. From the Bellwork at the onset of the day to the Homework after school, students will
be immersed in words with activities structured for frequent repetition and extension.
In addition to the Assignment Notebook, there are five additional sections in the Word Study Notebook.The Word Study Notebook will be used in class each day, as well as going home each evening, thus the As-
signment Notebook sections purpose is to record any additional assignments as well as a Reading and Math
Log. The other sections of the Word Study Notebook are Bellwork, Word Jail, Writing, Words, and Home-
work. Descriptions of each section follow:
Bellwork
The Bellwork section is to be utilized each morning as students come to class. Bellwork is their firstwork for the day. The purpose for Bellwork is to use the Making Words strategy from the 4 Blocks to
extentend students learning and to recognize patterns. From a scrambled magic word, students are
to make as many words as possible (including discovering the magic word) using letter cards, andwriting the words down. For fun, students use a gel pen on the black backgrounds.
Word Jail
The Word Jail section is an ongoing outlaw list of words that students will continue to add to. Thepurpose for the Word Jail is to recognize outlaws (oddballs) while word sorting, to reflect on why
the words do not fit the other patterns of the words in the sort, to think of other words like the
outlaw and to use the outlaw in a sentence to extend learning. As students work with words in sortsand other word activities, they will add the outlaws to the Word Jail and reflect on why the
outlaws have gone to jail! The Outlaws Gang is to list other words with a pattern similar to the
Outlaw. To reinforce the word, they will write a sentence using the outlaw.
Writing
The purpose of the Writing section is to emphasize the importance of daily writing and to use spellingwords, Word Wall words and content area words in context. There is a daily assignment of either
writing a letter, writing a nonsense story, writing a persuasive letter, writing a reflection, and writing
a sentence for the Around the Planet Writing Game. Simple, laminated rubric checklists are includedin their Word Study Notebooks on a Ring of Lists for use with their writing assignments. The
Around the Planet Writing Game is a class activity where each student creates a sentence. The class-
room sentences compile a nonsense story. Students must use spelling or Word Wall words in their
writing. Other writing assignments will be created for the three weeks to follow, with the resultingfour writing assignment sheets rotated the following month. Writing assignments may also change
based upon current content areas being studied.
Words
The purpose for the Words section is to work with words to recognize patterns in words. The Words
section works with words from the spelling list which is comprised of 5 Word Wall words, 5 Word
Sort words, and other content vocabulary or spelling words. From the Spelling Words form, a spellingPre-Test is given on Monday, with the paper folded on the Pre-Test line to hide the spelling words.
Incorrect words are circled and remain on the students spelling list. For the number of correct words,students circle their own words from the Shopping List. The Shopping List words may also be com-
prised of Word Wall words, Word Sort words, or content vocabulary. Three Gourmet words are cho-

sen as challenge words. All circled words are transferred to both the School List and the Home List as
the students personalized spelling list. The Home List is sent home for studying. Daily activities in-
clude a cut and write word sort, working with their Study Buddy on sorts or flashcards, a classroomgame of Hangman, and concludes with a Study Buddy-given spelling test. On Tuesday, students cut out
the Word Sort words and sort the words under the worksheet with the keywords. Sorted words aretranscribed on the Word Sort worksheet, with word cutouts stored in their Word Study notebook for
future sorts.
Homework
The purpose for the Homework section is to make connections through meaningful, purposeful activi-
ties to reinforce classroom word study. The Homework section includes a homework activity sheet and
Weekly Spelling Log to be signed by a parent. Students select from different point value activities fortheir daily homework. Activities are broken down into 5 Point Activities, 10 Point Activities, 15 Point
Activities, and 20 Point Activities. 50 points earns an A, 40 points a B, and 30 points a C. Students to-
tal the points with their expected grade and parent signature and staple to their completed assign-
ments. The Homework packet is due each Friday. Many other activities can be developed for thissection.
A minimum of 5 content area words will be included in the weekly spelling list and added to the Word Wall.
Students working with the content words in various activities such as word sorts, writing definitions, and
creating crosswords, for example, will serve to connect the words across the curriculum areas such as so-
cial studies, science, math and language arts.
Words will be revisited in a monthly Heads Up, Spell Up game: 7 students are "it." They lightly tap onestudent each. Tapped students have to correctly spell a spelling word before they can guess who tapped
them. and journal writing using past word lists. At the end of each quarter, the class will play Hollywood
Squares. There are 2 contestants, 9 panelists, and one person to pass out the x's and o's, and the rest of
the students are the studio audience. The contestants call on the panelist and they have to spell the spell-ing word. The contestant has to agree or disagree. Like the television version, the object is to get 3 x's or
o's in a row.
The Word Study Notebook will be used to assess students knowledge of words, patterns, and spellings.
The weekly homework packet will be graded, as well as assessment of the Word Study Notebooks. The
weekly spelling test will also be assessed. Observation of students working independently, with study bud-
dies, as well as participation in weekly, monthly, and quarterly word games, serve as another form of as-sessment.
