Printable ABC Brainstorming Sheet
ABC Brainstorming sheets are terrific for getting kids to
come up with ideas. For example: Students are about to begin studying World War I.
How many terms do they already know related to World War I?
Under "G" students might write "Germany." Under "W" students might write "war." For extra fun: Keep track of the time. Reward students who
complete their charts before time runs out. Follow-up: After a topic has been taught, repeat the
brainstorming activity. Do students remember more terms? Do students complete the activity more quickly? Check out more of our free
graphic organizers.
