Lesson: Terms of office

(This activity can be completed in small groups; each group might be responsible for adding a specified number of words/terms to the glossary.) Keywords election, dictionary, glossary Materials needed computers with Internet access or printouts of the list of words/terms from the sourceLesson plan Encourage students to explore the Election comic strip at Vocabulary University. Then use our list of election terms. Distribute the terms as evenly as possible among the students, and ask them to write definitions for and illustrate each word they receive. Combine all the words and clichs into an election dictionary. Encourage students to add additional words or phrases as the current campaign progresses. Assessment The compiled classroom dictionary might be placed on display in the school library. Lesson plan source Submitted By Linda Starr Last updated 2/28/2016 |
