It helps with our vocabulary because if we misunderstand a word it helps us apply it to a real life situation. It even helps us practice using it in sentences. The Frayer model is very helpful. Who made it? Let me guess, someone with a last name that is Frayer.I think I've seen it before somewhere. Maybe in 5th grade. My Gt teacher was all for that type of stuff. Anyway,this model helped me understand the word evaluate, Which was the only word I missed over and over again In the Rags to riches game.
