I thought it might be helpful to readers and myself if I described some of my favorite activities.

By activity, I mean a fun and/or unique learning process that can be used and reused for all sorts of different purposes, levels, and topics.

Here’s what I have so far, in alphabetical order.  Click for a description and an example.

• Chain Drill – speak and listen accurately
• Dictation Relay – read, remember, report, and write accurately
• Flyswatter Game – choose the right answer quickly
• Grid Activity – ask, answer, and write
• Guess The Word – ask and answer questions, figure out the secret
• Jigsaw Reading – become experts, then learn from each other
• One-Question Surveys – ask one question each, use the data

I hope this is a useful resource!
