Instructional Ideas
- Use as a homework assignment or short warm-up activity
- Have kids write about another career they'd be interested in with the same format, after either researching their career or interviewing someone with the same career
- Incorporate the words in the word bank into your weekly vocabulary list
Classroom Considerations
- One word in the bank is capitalized because it belongs in the beginning of a sentence; it may help some learners while distracting others
Pros
- Encourages learners to use context clues
- Subject matter would be interesting to many kids who enjoy stand-up comedy
Cons
- Activity is simplistic and doesn't address any additional reading skills beyond filling in the blanks
