Vocab for the Indian Subcontinent

Today we previewed an Indian reading and also played charades with the new vocabulary.

AIM: I will have 13 new vocabulary words recorded and be able to identify all of them through acting.

Standard: Vocabulary of Ancient India

Do Now: Pretest on India

Lesson Steps:
We started the class with a pre-test and then went right into a powerpoint slide show on the new vocabulary words that we will need to master for the first reading about India. Once we had gone over all of the words, we played a quick game of charades to see how many of them students could act out successfully.

Homework: Write a connection to a third advisory word for each new word.

Handout: This handout has all the new vocabulary words.
