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 39-72
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!
