um I'm going to give you a teaching tip using concentric circles, uh, for reviewing vocabulary words.

You have an inner circle on an outer circle.

There are 10 students in the inner circle and 10 students on the outer circle.

The outside circle is going to rotate clockwise.

The Innocents circle is going to stay still.

Each student will have a card with one of the vocabulary words from a reading.

They just finished having, uh, and the students on the inner circle will ask the student who's on the outer circle.

The will tell them the definition of that word.

They will show them the card with the word, and the student on the outside will then tell the student on the inside.

If the student doesn't know, then the student will turn the card and the definition will be on the card.

If they have any difficult to reading it, the student from the inside will read it to them.

The students that will rotate the teacher will time so that they have approximately one minute with each student on the outer circle and they rotate to the next student.

And then that student shows the card of the next vocabulary word.

And the student has to define that word, and they continue rotating until they go through the 10 students.

Then the students on the inner circle will go to the outer circle, and the students in the inner circle within quiz the ones on the outside with the words.

And this is a good activity for reviewing for a quiz or a test.

I use it a lot, and the students love it.

 They laugh, they smile, so it's an engaging, effective, fun activity.
