Many other specific ideas for fluency practice are presented in the lesson notes in the Teacher's Edition. Here are some general ideas that can be used with a variety of units.

Many students enjoy carrying out a class survey. Divide the class into groups and have them prepare several survey questions related to the theme of the unit. Have each student collect answers from several people, either in class or outside. Back in their groups, have students compile the answers. Have each group prepare a short oral report on their findings. If you like, have them draw a chart or graph on the board, or on a piece of paper. Have groups take turns presenting their information to the class.
