| Create a label |
Ask participants to create a label using the cut up label information
pieces (each participate gets an envelope of pieces). Participants
glue the information onto a landscape oriented piece of white paper
using a glue stick. Ask participants to outline in red any words they
think should be printed in red. |
| What vocabulary words and symbols need to be addressed
in order to read this label? |
Ask participants to volunteer vocabulary words and symbols and
their meanings (record on flipchart paper). Possible answers:
flammable, petroleum distillates, inhalation, battery terminals,
radiators, ventilation, vapour |
