The Ss are told they are going to add more words to each category on the w/b but from a list. They are put into 3 groups and the list HOs are given out to all. Each group will be responsible to find the related words for one category. Once each group finishes, a secretary writes his/her group's words on the w/b. When all words are put on the w/b, all Ss are called to the w/b to check other categories. Then they are asked to sit back and discuss about the meaning of any unknown word. Because there are probably few of them, the w/c FB by asking what a word means or acting out the word to see if they can remember it will be taken. Finally the Ss are asked to drill chorally or individually.
