"When working on the Imagine It! Concept/Question Board, give your students specific jobs. For example, Super Snoops search magazines for pictures and articles relating to the theme. Word Wizards locate words related to the theme. Have them use a dictionary, thesaurus, or books to find words, look for synonyms, and look in magazines or newspapers to cut words related to the theme. Artistic Artists draw pictures related to the theme and make a title or border for the Concept/Question Board. Nosey Newspeople search newspapers for pictures or articles relating to the theme. Once they’ve collected the information, ask them to glue their piece to an index card, write a reason why it belongs on the Concept Board and post it to the board. These jobs can be changed to challenge upper grade kids as well. The Concept/Question Board will be off to a great start after doing this kick-off with students. Then it is ready to be revisited after or during each selection in the unit!"
