Ask Students Individually to Write Down as Many Words as They

question 14

Essay

Ask students individually to write down as many words as they can think of in one minute in the category "food." When they have completed this task, have students share their list with their neighbor, noting words in common and strategies they used to recall the words (categories, etc.). In small groups, have students look at the lists and sort the foods into superordinate categories (e.g. junk food, breakfast, fruits and vegetables). Ask students how they could re-categorize their lists (e.g., colors, fat content, where you buy it).
