Cloze exercises are fill-in-the-blank vocabulary exercises. Teachers can read these cloze exercises to the class while students write the missing words on the lines or you can pass out the worksheets and allow the students to complete them on their own. Either way, be sure to preview the pictures first by asking questions and wrap things up at the end by having the students read the stories aloud and predict what might happen next. Estimated lesson time: 15 minutes.
