1. Ask students to identify two words they believe everyone should learn that are related to
specific topics the group is studying.
2. Have students write their words on the board.
3. Ask students to present their words to the group by defining them, explaining why the
group should learn them, and telling where the words were found.
4. Moderate a discussion through which the class reduces the list to a predetermined number
of most important words by eliminating words already known by many. The final list
becomes the focus of vocabulary activities for the next few days.
