A visual organiser used to practise new vocabulary or exploring a concept.
Vocabulary version: Draw a circle divided into four sectors. Write new vocabulary words or words related to a key concept onto strips of paper. Select a word to place in each sector. Students then use as many of the words as possible to construct a sentence.
Concept version: Place the core concept in the centre of the circle. In each quadrant place a word, definition, or picture, etc. that relates to the concept. Students then explain the relationship. Alternatively, leave one or two sectors empty and students fill in the missing related information.
