19. The following are handouts and activities I use to get the kids up and talking about their vocabulary words. • * The handout with the word list can be used prior to the High/Low activity to build some background. • -I have a bunch of clear clip badges that I use to clip them on to their backs. If you don’t have these, you can use index cards and yarn to hang them on their backs. • Have the students find who matches their word or definition. They come to me and I tell them if they are a match or not. • They then work as pairs to complete the missing information in the handout. • Once they are finished they are to sit quietly with their partner until everyone is finished. We then go over the answers on slide 22 of the PowerPoint. • *If you have a smaller class you can only have the answers on individuals backs and allow them to work in pairs to complete their handout. • *The handouts with the definitions can be completed during the High/Low activity. (Be sure to collect them before you start sorting activity.) • I hope you enjoy this lesson and please let me know if you have any problems or concerns. You can email me at ibteachnu@gmail.com
