Choose the Best Answer

• Choose Your Words Think about the topic we are studying right now (for example: community, environment, festivals, technology, etc.). Select two (2) words that you believe are important for everyone to learn.
  • The words should be new or not very familiar to most of the class.
  • They must be related to our topic.
• Write Your Words on the Board When it’s your turn, go to the board and clearly write your two words. Write them neatly so everyone can read them.
• Present Your Words Stand up and explain your words to the class. You need to include:
  • The definition of each word (in your own words or from the dictionary).
  • Why the class should learn these words. (Why are they useful or important?)
  • Where you found each word (in a reading, video, story, news, song, etc.).
• Class Discussion and Voting We will discuss all the words together as a class.
  • We will remove words that many students already know very well.
  • We will choose the best __ words (the teacher will tell the exact number). These selected words will become our official class vocabulary list for the next few days.
