we used the ‘2 words 2 minute’ challenge to write a description about the ancient olympics. Along with your pair, both students will have to discuss of what they knew of the Ancient Olympics. We created a list of words (vocabulary) that would help us write our description. Here is an example of how 2 words 2 minutes work, First we choose two words like.. ‘Greece’ and ‘athletes’ to help us think about the story or explain we are gonna write.
Both pairs explain their ideas with eachother, and timed 2 minutes to turn the ideas into sentences. It is to try our best to use all the words in our minds. Right after 2 minutes been finished the pairs read their explanation together with all of the ideas they know in their minds. Pairs reread what we had written and make changes if anything didn’t make sense or had words and punctuation in the wrong place. To carry on writing the descriptions, The pairs count their words if they improved in writing.
This activity was inspiring because the activity makes you improve of how fast you could write in your book.
