Topic: Pre-teaching Vocabulary

10-second review: Students given list of words in article, book or story. Each student given two or three words to become expert in. They teach these words to the other students. Then the class reads the article, book or story.

Comment: Another solution for what to do when the number of vocabulary words to pre-teach is too many. Students need to be shown how to “teach” the words, the meanings of which they have mastered, i.e., how to teach them in an interesting manner. RayS.
