ABC Brainstorming
The ABC Brainstorming strategy utilizes the alphabet to allow students to draw from their current knowledge to describe a topic. They draw these connections by listing words and phrases they believe or know to relate to the topic. The strategy aims to have students brainstorm words starting with each of the 26 letters. The students can think of an array of words or phrases to fill out the page. In some instances the use of synonyms will help students reach the goal of filling out the entire page. By the end of the activity students should have an ample list of words and phrases that can then be linked to the topic to be discussed.
*Activate Background Knowledge & Make Connections
