Build a vocabulary word wall your students actually use with this editable Magpie Words display.
The concept is simple: magpies collect shiny, sparkly objects, and writers collect interesting words to borrow and make their own writing shine. 48 rich vocabulary words are included, each with its part of speech and a short definition, along with an editable file so you can add the words your class is working on.
The words are designed to be explicitly taught, used across different contexts and spoken aloud, rather than only displayed and forgotten.
What's included:
48 vocabulary word cards, each with the word, its part of speech and a student-friendly definition (words include loquacious, discombobulate, peregrination, ennui, behemoth, capricious and bombilating)
Editable word card template so you can add your own words, parts of speech and definitions
Bunting letters in a black and white speckled design to spell out your wall heading
MAGPIE WORDS or MAGPIE WALL heading signs with magpie illustration, for a smaller display or a different layout
Explanation poster describing why writers collect words, in two sizes
Magpie cut-out illustrations to place around the display
