The Key to Introducing Vocab! An engaging way to introduce key
terminology as a starter or plenary!

Pairs Task 1: Try to make as many pairs as you can between the
words on the vocab triangle. You have until the song runs out. Try
to use some of the AMBITIOUS vocabulary! Magnetic field

between the words on the vocab triangle. You have until the song
runs out! The winner is the person with the most pairs =
achievement points. Try to pair the challenge level words together.

Biomes provide us with things that are vital to our survival.
Can you suggest what the learning objectives could be for the
lesson? Task Try to make as many pairs as you can between the words
on the Tagxedo. You have until the song runs out! The winner is the
person with the most pairs = achievement points
Slide 6
Before your mini plenary Allow some thinking time. The students
now have the pairs, get them to think about why they have grouped
them together in more detail. Encourage students to choose their
best link and justify the reasons why they have linked them
together! Allow some thinking time. The students now have the

Encourage students to make pairs between the higher level
graded words! Have this as a challenge task next to the main
activity. Lahar Pyroclastic Flow Volcanic Bomb Seismic Shield

Encourage students to link or group pairs for example
Silica-VEI-Composite- Gas-Volcano Encourage students to link or
group pairs for example Silica-VEI-Composite- Gas-Volcano With the
iPads students could define some of the high level key terms to try
to pair them.
Slide 8
Support Give students hint tokens. The amount depends on the
ability of the student. Give students a mini glossary to remind
them of some of the key terms so they can actually pair them. The
VCOP is graded which can direct students to the terminology related
to their grades.
