Role play: wear detective hat and bring magnifying class to create excitement over "finding" the meaning of words using context clues.
Teacher will ask students if there is a similar story in their own culture that is like Cinderella and thus make a cultural tie-in. Teacher will also use flashcards to promote active visualization of words along with reinforcement of vocabulary. Teacher will show a picture of the object and the student will have to say the corresponding vocabulary word. Students will be give flashcards to test themselves in groups to promote active learning.
