Vocabulary+Activities

__ Voices of the Civil War __ Confederate, secede, union, infantry, artillery, amputation, assassinate, engineer, plantation, regiment I chose these words because most of them are already highlighted in the book and defined in a caption on the page as vocabulary words. The others are words in the glossary that are mentioned more than once that students may not know.

** Voices of the Civil War Vocabulary Activity **

** 4-Fold Vocabulary **

In this activity, students fold their papers into rows of 4 sections each. The number of row can relate to the number of words to be studied. In the first section, the student writes the word. In the 2nd section, the student writes a definition of the word in their own words. In the 3rd section, the student draws a picture or symbol to represent the word. In the 4th section, the student writes a sentence with the word based on their definition.

After completing the page, the students cut apart the sections and put them in an envelope. The words are review by having student reassemble the word rows. Students can trade rows/envelopes with others.

__ Scholastic Encyclopedia of the Civil War __ Mason-Dixon Line, compromise, tariffs, nullify, abolish, emancipate, refugees, conductor. This is one of the more challenging books as far as ability goes. I chose words that they would see again, not only throughout this book but also throughout other books and the taught information. These words need to be known and reinforced regardless of ability level.



__ Tales From The Underground Railroad __ Master, stationmaster, conductors, passengers, packages, parcels, vigilance, stops, stations I picked these words for vocabulary because they explain what they are in the book. These words are a part of the Underground Railroad and will be used throughout the course of learning about it, even outside of this book. Students need to know the meaning of these words to understand the Underground Railroad.
