Keyword Blocks

Resources: Nothing! (A3 paper?) What to do: This can be an individual, paired, group or class activity! Depending on ability/topic of class- students are asked to draw a grid on A3 paper? In their books?  E.G- 5 x 5- which makes 25 boxes. (I would use this for an A level Class- 50 Mark A2 Law question- 25Ao1 marks!) Students are then asked to- All tasks must be timed!
  • Write in small writing a heading- a Keyword/Key point.
  • Then students swap their grids and another student has to define one row/columns keywords.
  • Swap until all are complete.
  • When the original student gets back their grid they should double check all keywords have the correct definitions.
I would then ask students to use all these keywords for a 50 mark essay question? This could be the preparation for their question… or a way of drawing out information from a model answer? Variations:

Get the class to complete the keyword block together?  Draw a massive grid on the whiteboard- give the students pens and tell them to work together to fill them in… I also set a keyword block per topic for homework.
