We have used the LINCs Table routinely throughout this school year to teach/review vocabulary. We used detachable dry erase boards which hang at the back of the room in order for students to first demonstrate a "light" version of the LINCs routine. Working in pairs, students wrote out the name of a property, gave an example, wrote what the property "sounds like," and drew a picture of what an example of that would be. We shared these with the class and analyzed one another's work for accuracy and relevance. Since demonstrating the full LINCs routine with a review of properties in February of this year, we have also referenced it often in order to draw students' attention to memory devices for memorizing properties. We have also had class "brainstorms" in order to determine what a good LINCing word/picture would be for certain concepts. Our plan is to continue to demonstrate and use the LINCing routine for various concepts throughout the school year.
