Suggestions for Use:

Print, separate, and match! Printing on card stock and/or laminating will help to keep these cards in good shape for repeated use. Alternately, print two sheets per page for smaller cards that students can glue into their notebooks.

After matching, have the students sort the vocabulary into groups of related terms (they can determine the categories or you can determine them). The blank cards are great for category labels (consider laminating them and having the students use whiteboard markers to record their groupings).

Follow up with a group discussion, journal entry, Frayer models, or the creation of word wall posters.
