Word Splash • Select six to ten social studies terms, people, or phrases from a unit of study. Be sure to include not only similar words that will indicate the subject of the selection but also some of the words and phrases that seem contradictory to the others. • Give each student a little time to think about what the terms, people, or phrases have in common.
Word Splash • Ask students to form small groups of three to five (or you can assign them to groups). In their groups, they should decide what the main category or topic is for the terms, people, or phrases. They should also create a narrative or an explanation that will include all of the words or phrases. • Ask each group to share their narrative or explanation. Ask students to list the common elements they heard and list these elements on the board.
