This is a great idea as it helps students learn to work in small groups as well as learn to use the new words & consequently learn the concepts.

This is a great strategy. You are right that this helps really draw students into the subject matter & often makes challenging material easier to understand.

I have created a handout with several "new words" listed on it and in small groups they have to spark up a discussion based on the words listed on the paper in front of them. I love to see how this plays out on new subjects at the begining of the course and follow up again at the end of the course and see how much they have learned.
