I visit terminology regularly with students. We start off with a word wall - and then move onto using both examples from texts and the terminology for starter and end of lesson activities. I award "prizes" for students who find me new examples. I also start small - and then add a new word once the others appear to be known. By Yr11 they tend to use the precise terminology required accurately. I have shoeboxes full of words to explain - and quotes to define.
