• Students should first read to themselves then
  together as a class aloud. Brainstorm and give
  examples of possible answers to questions
  together as a class. Then have individuals
  answer independently.
• Maybe have a contest to see whose dish or ice
  cream flavor or instrument is the class
  favorite. Incorporate social studies by holding
  a secret ballot vote for each category.
• As an extension see if the students could really
  create anything they named and bring it to show
  the class.
