Wordstorming• Wordstorming to anticipate content is
an organizer that allow the reader to assess and build content knowledge prior to beginning a topic or unit of study.
• Read through an article and select 3-5 letters of the alphabet that start key words or concepts
• Provide students with the organizer.

• Instruct students to predict words beginning with the letters you have given.
• Record their predictions on a group organizer.
• Leave the predictions on the screen as you read the article.
• Revisit the predictions and if important points were missed, summarize the points.

Expert Groups• Chose a topic, unit of study, text or
essential question and provide the students with a list of topics.
• Post the list a week before beginning the unit and allow the students to sign up to become experts.
• When you come to an item in your study ask ” Who is our expert on _____?”
