ABC Brainstorming
Have students list all the letters of the alphabet down a sheet of paper (or use the printable ABC Brainstorm sheet available through ReadingQuest), leaving room beside each letter to write out the rest of a word or phrase. Let them work individually at first, thinking of as many words as they can that could be associated with the topic you identify. Do note: The topic should be big and general enough that students can actually think of a lot of possible terms. Then, in no particular order, let them begin filling in the blanks beside each letter of the alphabet. For instance, if the topic were World War II, students might list Allies, Bombers, Concentration Camps, D-Day, Europe, French Resistance, Germany, Hitler, Italy, Japan, and so on.
I Like - I Wish - I Wonder
Use this tool when you want to:
- change the energy of a group that is stuck in a complaining mode.
- remind everyone to start every sentence with either "I wish," "I want," or "I wonder."
- coach people who are having a hard time switching a negative thought to a more positive one.
