Vocabulary
LINCS is a vocabulary activity developed by the 'Striving Readers Program'. I use LINCS to help students acquire the language of Science. LINCS uses a graphic organizer to order words, definitions, drawings, and phrases to help students retain vocabulary.
Below is a link to a youtube lesson modeling how our students will use lincs.
