Pre-Teach Memorial Day Words Before The Event Begins

Frontloading difficult academic vocabulary is a powerful strategy that you should wholeheartedly embrace, especially when teaching abstract concepts in history and government. By introducing key language and concepts at the outset of a lesson or unit, you provide them with a strong foundation upon which to build their understanding. This rule especially applies when approaching both the Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations. With that in mind, Teach Starter is here to help! From printable word walls to Memorial Day word searches, we’ve got the tools you need to prepare your students for the discussions surrounding the events.
