Ancient Egypt & Kusk Essential Vocab Activity

Steps 1-6 As you would probably expect, the steps have to be completed in order. Step #1 must be completed before step #2 Step #2 must be completed before step #3 Finish this sentence, step #3 ______________

Step #1 “Connect Two” Write a sentence that uses TWO of the vocabulary words Sentence needs to be an accurate statement not just a random statement One sentence counts for two words

Sumerian Example Polytheistic Sumerians worshipped in the ziggurat.

Let me go ahead and say NO to this before you try it Two vocabulary words for Sumer are polytheism and ziggurats.

Give it a shot For the next 10 minutes try to connect as many of these together as you are able to do If you think you know the word but not sure if you are using it correctly just go with it. TRY!

Step #2 Textbook Definition Define each word using pages Don’t use the glossary! Reading the word in context will make the rest of the steps much easier 10 minutes to complete what you can

Step #3 My Definition EXPLAIN the definition in your own words I don’t want to read the textbook definition again

Step #3 Continued Attempt to include “you” and “something” or “someone”; this helps you apply the new word in familiar situations Example using the word polytheism: “If you are polytheistic you are someone who believes in more than one god. My family and I believe in only one so we are monotheistic. What other step would what is written above fit? Take 10 minutes to write your own definition

Step #4: Evaluate “Connect Two” Now that you know what the words mean, evaluate your connect two sentences. Are they used properly? If YES put a Y in the box if NO put a N Take a minute to do so

Step #5: Explanation and New Sentence If you put a Y in step # 4 prove so in an explanation If you put a N in step #4 create a new sentence that ties two vocabulary words together Take 10

Step #6: Clue Create a picture, riddle, mnemonic device, or synonym to help you remember the meaning of the word Once you have done so for all of the vocabulary words you are finished!
