Depth and Complexity Icons

I had the privilege of visiting Christa Norum's 5th grade classroom at Castlemont last week.  She was introducing her class to the Language of the Discipline (Depth and Complexity) Icons.  While reading the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, Christa challenged her class to look for specific words and tools for biologists and neurologists.


Once students found a specific academic vocabulary word, they posted the word on Padlet with a quotation and picture.  What a great way to have the students actively search for vocabulary words in an authentic way!  You can view their Padlet here:
