U.S. History Academic Vocabulary Bingo Cards
Need to review academic vocabulary with your U.S. History students? Look no further. Here are 100 unique printable bingo cards that contain the 97 terms identified by Lead4Ward as new academic vocabulary introduced to your students in their 8th grade course. I have also generated a call sheet of the terms and definitions in a spread sheet format I also used Flashcard Lab to generate Flash card versions of the terms and definitions so that you can print and cut those out for randomly drawing and calling your Bingo definitions. Here are all the files in .PDF Format.
Quick Checks for Understanding
Here are a few options for quickly assessing your students comprehension of a concept. This is a question I often get so here are my best answers all gathered up for you.
Lumio from Smart tech has a huge portion of it that is designed to be used by students on individual devices and not on SMART boards.
Nearpod offers similar options. To collect responses from students and discuss responses with the class.
Peardeck is very similar to Nearpod. Of course Quick Prompts are not free… I have walk through video of everything that Peadeck can do, there are very usable and useful free options.
Socrative is another option. Which can do Multiple Choice, T/F, and Short Answer in it’s free teacher account.
Mentimeter is another one I have used to collaborate and create a parent night presentation with interactive polling. Mentimeter adds in a word cloud option!
Want to keep it very low effort on your part? How about a Google Classroom discussion question, a Google Form, a Google Jamboard (or what ever they call it now, Figjam?), also a Canva collaborative work space can provide a super simple space for students to share what they know.
