Start with
the basics and use your local newspaper as a language arts teaching
tool. Come up with a list of ten words in your students' existing
vocabulary. Ask them to look through newspapers and try to find
those words in newspaper headlines or use the newspaper as a
way to introduce new words. Here's
an example:

|
|
police |
|
|
town |
|
|
win |
|
|
up |
|
|
go |
|
|
Take the
exercise a step further by asking your students to write their
own stories, featuring some of the vocabulary they've recognized
or learned through this exercise. They may all be using the words
"police", "town" and "good" but
they are likely to come up with completely different stories!
