For the most part, this activity went very well. Students were engaged, and some had previously completed LINCs routines in other classes for vocabulary and knew what to expect. Students also remembered completing a similar activity earlier in the year using dry erase boards. Using this as a review of properties worked well, and it greatly benefited students to have their study guide folders out as a reference. Many of them did not readily remember the properties, and had missed them on a benchmark given the week prior. Part of the challenge of this activity was the LINCing word. Students had a hard time with this part, especially in choosing a word that sounded like the term and that they could write a LINCing story about. As the day went on, I did additional examples with the classes in order to demonstrate the skill further. Next time, I may have some LINCing word options written down for students who cannot think of a word on their own.
