Student Response
Overview: Students simply say any words they think of when they hear a particular term.
Procedure: Announce it is “free-association” time. Call out a term – the target-and ask students to take turns as
a class, partners, or small group, saying any word they think of that is related to the target term. After a few
seconds, say “STOP.” The last person to say a word must explain how that word is related to the target.
Example:
Target Term: Requirements for life
Related Words: water
food
shelter
oxygen
air
warmth
homes family
friends
society
Alternative: Ask student to write their responses in a learning log or on scratch paper. When you say, “STOP,”
they exchange papers with a partner and ask each other to explain any of the words on their lists but are also
exposed to the thinking of another student.
TIP: If you do this activity aloud with an entire class, set parameters to avoid chaos. Require students to raise a
hand and be called on, or, to ensure they pay attention to their peers’ responses, require them to repeat the
previous response before offering one.

space underneath the table, explain why you chose what you did. This doesn’t have to be extensive, but just
enough to give me an idea of who you are.
