That's what makes climbing a word ladder such a complicated task. Students begin with a provided word at the bottom of the ladder (bright). They are then asked to change the word by taking letters away from it, adding letters to it, or rearranging the letters to form a word that fits the next clue. Let there be no question: climbing these letters by collaborating with each other can be stressful to some students, while being a relief to others. Pushing forward as a team can indeed be a challenge. That's part of the reason I want them working in this manner. Students should be engaged not only with the materials, but with each other, as well. | |
Some people are afraid of heights. Others are not so good at working with words. Still others find it difficult to work with a team.
