um i'm going to give you a teaching tip
using concentric circles
uh for reviewing vocabulary
words you have 10 20 students
you have an inner circle and an outer
circle there are 10 students
in the inner circle and 10 students on
the outer circle
they're going to face each other the
outside circle is going to rotate
clockwise
the inner circle is going to stay still
the inner circle each student will have
a card with one of the vocabulary words
from a reading they just finished having
and the the students on the inner circle
will ask the student who's on the outer
circle
uh the will tell them the definition of
that word they will show them the card
with the word and the student on the
outside will then tell the student
on the inside what is the definition of
that word if the student doesn't know
then the student will turn the card and
the definition will be on the card
if they have any difficulty reading it
the student from the inside
will read it to them the students then
will rotate the teacher will
time so that they have approximately one
minute with each student on the outer
circle
and they rotate to the next student and
then that student
shows the card of the next vocabulary
word and the student has to
define that word and they continue
rotating until they go through the 10
students
then the students on the inner circle
will go to the outer circle and the
students in the inner circle will then
quiz the ones on the outside with the
words and this is a good activity for
reviewing
for a quiz or a test and it's a
wonderful activity
i use it a lot and the students love it
they
enjoy it they learn they review they
laugh
they smile so it's an engaging
effective fun activity
