This set of instructions offers a creative approach to revising any key terminology or vocabulary. 

The idea is that as students enter the classroom, they are given one card, and once they have had a chance to fully investigate the meaning of the word, they need to ask a question or use the word in a sentence of their own. You could make things interesting by including some curiosities and comical word choices!

You'll need to prepare a set of cards in advance to put the activity into action.

I haven't used it yet, but am going to use it with my Y10s revising literary terminology and with my Y9s an 7s revising poetic terms. Thanks for this great resource.

A really good way to reuse vocabulary and test students understanding of key words/phrases.
