Worksheet L:2
Teacher’s note: A Frayer diagram is an activity with two purposes. Firstly, it allows students to draw together what they already know about a particular topic. Secondly, it allows teachers to identify areas of prior knowledge that their students possess. This information can be used to shape future teaching. Students may complete this process as a whole class, individually, in pairs, or in small groups. Frayer diagrams involve four boxes. One is labelled Examples, one Non-examples, one Characteristics, and one Definition. In this lesson, students will explore the idea of ‘being saved by someone else’ through these boxes.
