Make one copy of Talking point 15 for every four students. Cut into cards.

  1. Have students form groups of four. Give each group one set of cards.
  2. Tell students to think of popular music, fads, and trends they remember from the past. Have each student choose three cards and fill in the blanks with their own ideas.
  3. When students finish, have them put the cards facedown in the middle.
  4. Have students take turns choosing a card and reading it aloud to the group. All students should respond and discuss whether they remember the trend, and then share any personal memories or opinions about it. Encourage students to ask one another questions and keep the discussions going.
  5. When students finish, ask groups to share any funny or interesting memories they talked about.
