Vocab – Word Sneak
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1VOCAB – WORD SNEAKWORLD HISTORY PROJECT / LESSON 4.2 ACTIVITYPurposeIn this vocab activity, you’ll be given a stack of vocab words to “sneak” into a conversation with a classmate. This is probably the most difficult—and perhaps silliest—of all the vocab activities. You have to incorporate Era 4 vocabulary as seamlessly as possible into a conversation. Although difficult, this is one of the best ways to use and apply new vocabulary—in context.ProcessYou’re going to play the word sneak game. You will be given four Era 4 vocab words, and asked to have a casual conversation with a classmate. Your job is to use your vocab words as part of that conversation, sneaking them in wherever appropriate. Here are the steps:1. Get your vocab cards.2. Partner with someone else in the class. Do not show them your cards or tell them your words.3. Have a five-minute conversation, and see how many words you can sneak into the conversation while you’re chatting. There are two things you need to know for your conversation:• You have to integrate your words in a legitimate way that makes sense. • You may need to steer the conversation in a different direction as a way to get to use your words. One good way to do this is by asking your partner questions. 4. Be prepared to debrief your conversation with the class.
