Instructional Procedures

PowerPoint presentation is displayed on the wall. Each slide has a term, and following it is the definition. Students are challenged to write the term on one side of note card and the definition on the back before the slide changes. If it changes, they are to start a new card with a new term and finish the prior card next time around. It is a race against time.

Strategies for Diverse Learners

Work in pairs and one student reads the definition while the other writes it down. Then share cards to make a second set for the diverse learner.
