Use chart paper. Make enough charts so that no more than six students are in a group.
Write one essential term or concept vertically on each paper.
Give each group a marker. Each student, in turn, writes one sentence related to the
concept using the letter of the concept as the first word of his sentence.
Every student writes a sentence. Encourage collaboration. Students can use notes, text, or other resources to write
their facts. Use this as a concept or topic review.
