First I gave the students about five minutes to see how many words they could come up with on their own. Then I gave them about five more minutes to get with a buddy and add to their lists. We share out and I was pleasantly surprised with all the terms they have learned. The winners got reallllly close to being able to find one for each letter!
The challenge was "X," for which we decided on "X boxes are scarce goods!" Does that count?
Bonus, every student said they did much better with this activity than they would have at the beginning of the unit.
It's a great informal assessment that could be used with many, many subjects. Any good ideas?
