In my groups unit plan vocab will be important but it is only part of the whole. The most important thing should be the applied knowledge not just the vocab itself. My group is writing up a lesson for 4th graders so in this case vocab will be important. We have to keep the lessons age appropriate, which means all the ideas have to be concrete since the students aren’t quite capable of thinking abstractly. So in this unit we will keep the vocab simple and to the point and use real life situations that the children can relate too.

I think it's a really good idea to keep the vocab simple. when you are bogged down with a lot of vocab words, it's harder to really learn and remember the meanings of the words. if instead, there are a few vocab words that are focused on, i think there's a much more of a chance for students to retain that knowledge
