Ask each group member to work individually to write out two or three reactions from one section of the chapter. Replace the symbol for the element that is the topic of that section with a blank or an X. Take turns playing “identify the mystery element” as follows. One person shares his or her reactions (with the blanks) with the group. The person to the right of the person sharing tries to identify the missing element. If that person can’t, the group member to the right tries. Continue until either the element has been identified or all group members have had a chance. The next round starts with the person who was first to guess the element sharing reactions with the group.

Continue until all have shared reactions and all reactions have been correctly identified.
