Spider Diagram About Me
Instructions: Students create a diagram with answers to question about themselves. In small groups, students try to ask the question to the answer. For example, “what is your favorite food?” The answer is “pizza.” Students can then ask for for details. “What kind of pizza is your favorite?” This is a good activity to get students talking and asking questions. I use it as an introduction lesson.
