After struggling with vocabulary and structure of work at KS4. I
decided to use a cheap roll of paper for pupils to write all the words
they know about Free time & Media. I then split the class into 4
groups. I decided to use paper tablecloths to brainstorm key vocabulary
for different areas of a topic.
We then used paper plates to collect
any useful words to be used. The pupils found this really good fun. It provoked good discussion about which words were better than others.
It was a nice way of checking retention of vocabulary. They were not
able to use their books. I have a couple of photos of their plates
which were organised any way they wanted. They are not perfect, but I
think they began to understand what was needed.
This would be a useful activity before the reading and listening exams as they would be looking and listening to lots of vocabulary.
