Instructional Ideas
- Project the list onto a whiteboard and have kids write down the words they think of with dry erase marker
- Give each group their own whiteboard and marker, or tablet, to see which group can come up with the most words
- Compare the words to other books or stories kids have read in your class
- See if learners have different associations with the words after they finish the novel
Classroom Considerations
- Background picture is distracting, and may affect reading if printed in black-and-white
- Lesson was written by a student teacher, so there is a lot of rationale and explanation in the plan
Pros
- Open-ended activity promotes creative thinking and collaborative work
- Works with other stories and novels, with only slight word changes
Cons
- None
