At yesterday's high school faculty meeting, we did a great exercise to underscore the importance of vocabulary development. Here is a pdf file of some PowerPoint slides that you can use. I showed them to my students this fall to emphasize the need to broaden our vocabulary. It really helped them understand and make the connection.

Awesome collection of slides to help teachers help learners understand how to build their vocabulary. Thanks for sharing!
