Instructional Ideas
- To conserve paper, use an online flashcard site to review definitions instead of printing and having students match paper copies
Classroom Considerations
- Lesson plan says activity takes 25 minutes, while the activity worksheet says it takes 40 minutes, so plan accordingly
- Lesson suggests groups of four during the activity, but the smaller the group, the better for student comprehension
