My group is going to start working with opposites. This wheel book technique is a great way for them to identify the new vocab. Here are the instructions.
1. Cut two circles out of cardstock.
2. Make a template to mark the slits and the center on one of the circles to help you make all the other circles for your students.
3. Cut the two slits and fold them to the back of the circle.
4. Use a large needle to make a hole in the center of the two circles.
5. Use a brad to secure both circles, keeping the one with slits on top.
6. Students write the opposite words, moving the top circle clockwise.
They write the title and the author's name on the top circle.
Have them stand up and walk around, asking their peers what the opposite words are.
My students carried out this task listening to Waka, Waka. As I paused the song, they asked the peer next to them: What's the opposite of ... ? It was hard to change the activity, for they had lots of fun.
