Hey, how do I download it?
This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
At the beginning of class, have students brainstorm and put on index cards key words related to their reading. If the topic is family structure, for example, key terms might be “nuclear family” and “extended family.”
Each student then selects a card from the box and must give an impromptu two-minute speech on the key word chosen.
This works well because students have to work with the reading to come up with the key terms. They must then practice their speaking skills in delivering the speech.
