Move Cards, Make Connections with Ancient Greek Vocabulary!

If it seems like I post a lot about vocabulary, it's because I do.  I firmly believe vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental cornerstone of quality Social Studies instruction.  I use elements of Dr. Marzano's Six Steps for Vocabulary Instruction on a daily basis in my classes.

Vocabulary task cards hit several of Dr. Marzano's six steps, and play a vital role in each of my units.  This week I'm going to highlight my Ancient Greece set.  This set includes word, definition and picture cards for each of the following 14 terms (42 cards in all!).

• ​Polis
• Hoplite
• Phalanx
• Agora
• Democracy
• Direct Democracy
• Acropolis

• Oligarchy
• Delian League
• Reason
• Logic
• Philosopher
• Myth
• City-State

These task cards work great for vocabulary acquisition (check out this blogpost for how I use them), review or games (check out this FREE resource).  So, click the link below for my Ancient Greece Vocabulary Task Cards and be sure to visit and follow my store for more great Social Studies resources!
