Move Cards Make Connections with English Colonization!

Something as simple as moving cards around on a table can be a powerful tool for kinesthetic learners (and all of our students are partially kinesthetic learners) to make connections with content.  In my experience, few resources do this as well or as efficiently as vocabulary cards.

​This week, I'll focus on my English Colonization Vocabulary Task Cards.

This set of 14 vocabulary terms utilizes Marzano's Six Steps for Vocabulary Acquisition when used in conjunction with my FREE Vocabulary Games resource.  The words included in this set are:

• New England Colonies
• Middle Colonies
• Southern Colonies
• Pilgrim
• Puritans
• Tobacco 
• Cash Crop

• Raw Materials
• Plantation
• Slave
• Indentured Servant
• French and Indian War
• Triangular Trade
• Finished Products

These cards work great for the beginning steps of vocabulary acquisition, or as a way to reinforce or review terms throughout or at the end of a unit.
