Description In this self-contained upper elementary classroom, the teacher uses a cloze activity called "Guess the Covered Word" with her students. Students have to predict the covered word based on word meaning plus word length and initial letter sound. The teacher records student responses, and the students help narrow down the choices based on the criteria.
