Vocabulary and Word Study for American History

Vocabulary and Word Study for American History: The World Before 1600 to American Imperialism (1890-1920) (formerly titled Words Their Way(TM)) is a practical professional resource that provides middle and secondary level American history teachers with the tools you need to teach students to use academic vocabulary and language to read, write, and think like historians. It shows how to engage in history to ignite student debates over topics or issues; help students organize domain-specific vocabulary words into ways that make sense; use general academic vocabulary and language to learn about the past; and tap into the powerful roots of English to help students become independent life-long word learners.
