Activity Overview
Starting a unit or lesson with the key vocabulary that students will see in their readings or presentations aids in overall comprehension and retention. In this activity, students will create a spider map that defines and illustrates key vocabulary related to the region of the Southeast and its First Nations. Each cell will contain a term, its definition and an illustration that depicts the meaning.
