Want a clever way to increase students' vocabulary? Try these using this worksheet for a warm-up to the school day or in between activities. In my many years of working as an educational interpreter, I noticed that it was not unusual for deaf and hard-of-hearing students to struggle with answering questions that began with: "What's your favorite . . .?" Often, they would answer "yes" or not be sure how to answer. This worksheet is the beginning of a series of worksheets that will focus on domain specific vocabulary. The thumbnail for this series will have a violet purple background - violet for vocabulary!

The beauty of this type of worksheet is that there is no wrong answer, is short-yet-effective, and will expose students to a variety of categories and vocabulary within a specific domain. Over time, this type of practice worksheet will help students learn how to answer this common question that seems easy, but not for those that may not have the background knowledge necessary to answer it.

If you find this useful, please let me know, so I know you like this series of worksheets!
