US Reconstruction Vocabulary & Word Wall Cards

This resource includes 31 vocabulary cards that will enhance any Reconstruction unit. It is aligned to my Reconstruction Unit Bundle. Every key term that is in the passages is included in this resource. Each card has the key term, a kid-friendly definition, and a visual to help students understand and remember the term. There is also a Google Doc included where students can match the key term with the definition and image.

I display the vocabulary card on my board during the unit so I can easily refer to it. Then I place the card on our word wall so students can easily refer back to it the remainder of the year during our other units or when we are reviewing the Reconstruction Era.

Need a word wall for all of US History? This pack is included in my US History Word Wall Pack.
