Lesson Plan Ideas


I was thinking of using Flavors.Me and Prezi in a class aimed at vocabulary review for elementary level preteens.
We wouls start out with an illustration they had already seen before 











and we would review the school objects. We could also mention the clothing items the kids are wearing.

Then we would use a Prezi presentation for these and other vocabulary topics they had already studied such as means of transportation and describing the weather. Prezi is an excellent tool for showing info on different topics.
After the review, they would work on an exercise page at Flavors.Me, with filling the blank, true or false and multiple choice questions, in which the topics would be linked to each other throughout the exercise.

I think they would enjoy it, and  it all translates into learning can be even more fun using web tools.

I'd like to hear your feedback on this activity. Thanks!

  1. I think your idea to use Prezi for vocabulary development is great and it can be highly effective. As for flavors.me and the quiz, you might want to test tools that are more suitable for online quizzes, like quia.com (30-day free trial), hot potatoes, proprof, http://www.mobilestudy.org/

    What do you think?
