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 the class, write a target word from the reading on the board: it should be a key word, one important to the reading: for example, if the topic is the AIDS pandemic, a key word could be “virus” or “immune.”
Discuss the word then work it into the discussion as much as possible, perhaps giving students points every time they use it in either discussion or a follow up journal.
It takes repeated exposures to a word to truly acquire it, and activities like these, in which students must use the word, increase those exposures and the chance they will acquire the word.
