Learning Target: Students will analyze the relationships between key vocabulary in a unit.
- Have all the vocabulary printed, cut out, and attached to your word wall.
- Along with each word, print a picture that represents the word and attach it next to the word.
- Create groups of 2-3 students each.
- Give each group a large-sized sticky note sheet.
- Instruct students to write all of the vocabulary words on the sheet, making as many connections between the terms as they can by drawing lines between the terms.
- On the lines the students should describe the connection.
- Examples of connections can include similarities, opposites, cause and effect, etc.
- The goal for each group is to make as many connections as possible.
- After one class period of student work, the teacher can use yarn to make their own connections on the bulletin board to show as a model.
- Students should complete the word web during the second class period and post around the room.
- Teacher can lead a discussion where students share one connection they made.
