We organize all the words we learn under their categories so we can remember them in groups or in parts. (Association through Categorization) Association Technique (2)

Now lets have some fun: (cut-outs) Divide the class into two teams. One for “the whole group” ss and another for “the parts.” Choose 4 students to be the whole group students while the rest of ss are the parts.
