– Word Association
Instructions: Write the word "K-pop" on the board. Have students take turns saying a word that is related to K-pop. For example, one student might say "music," and the next student might say "dance." Keep going until everyone has had a turn or until the class runs out of ideas.
– Vocabulary Pictionary
Instructions: Divide the class into pairs. Give each pair a set of vocabulary words related to the article (e.g. K-pop, Glastonbury, album, fans). One student from each pair will choose a word and draw a picture to represent it, while the other student guesses the word. They can only use pictures, no words. After a set amount of time, switch roles and continue until all the words have been used.
– Headline Creation
Instructions: In small groups, have students create a headline for the article. Encourage them to be creative and use their own words. After each group has come up with a headline, have them share with the class and discuss why they chose that headline.
– Think-Pair-Share
Instructions: Have students think about a question related to the article (e.g. "Why do you think K-pop is popular around the world?"). Give them a few minutes to think individually, then have them pair up with a partner to discuss their thoughts. After a few minutes of discussion, bring the class back together and have a few pairs share their ideas with the whole group.
– Two Truths and a Lie
Instructions: Have each student come up with two true statements and one false statement about themselves related to the article (e.g. "I have been to a K-pop concert before," "I have heard of Glastonbury," "I can speak Korean"). In a small group or with a partner, students take turns sharing their statements and the others have to guess which one is the lie. Encourage students to ask follow-up questions to try and figure out the lie.
