Starting a unit or lesson with the key vocabulary that students will see in their readings or presentations aids in overall comprehension and retention. In this activity, students will create posters that define and illustrate key vocabulary related to the study of ancient Egypt.
Students will preview the terms and definitions and use whole class or small group discussion to demonstrate their understanding of each meaning. When students define and illustrate each term, they master the application of it and retain it as part of their lexicon. For the case of studying ancient civilizations, students can use this as a starting place for a research project!
These vocabulary posters can be hung around the room like a "Word Wall" throughout the duration of the unit and can serve as a visual reminder as well as a colorful and attractive decoration! Find more vocabulary posters to add to this assignment for differentiation and student choice!
