You will see how well you understand the key vocabulary words from the first third of unit 3 on culture.

Directions Part 1: Today’s vocabulary activity has three parts that increase in difficulty. Before we can get to the more difficult, and more fun, vocabulary activities, you must first demonstrate an understanding of the definitions of vocab words. Complete the “Grademakers” activity below with your group by: 1. finding the definition in your notes and rephrasing the definition in your own words. 2. Sketching a visual clue or symbol of the word in the third column 3. Writing at least three words that come to mind when you see this word.

Material Culture Homework Due Monday 11/14

Introduction: In the last activity, you identified examples of vocabulary words human geographers use to describe culture. Now you will take your understanding to the next level by employing these words through writing. It is more difficult, and shows a deeper understanding, if you can use vocabulary words correctly in your own creative writing.

Part 3 Directions: Come up with a creative story that uses each of the word wall words correctly. Every time you use a word, cross it out of your word bank and underline it in your writing. Someone unfamiliar with the vocabulary words should be able to figure out the meaning of each word based on how you use the word. For example, writing “The Native American’s folk culture was different from the Americans popular culture” would not be a good sentence because the reader can not determine what either folk or popular culture is. This is a better example: George entered the classroom on his first day of school in utter shock. The whole class, wearing their white polo shirts tucked into their Khaki pants, looked at George as if he was from mars. George’s flannel Amish shirt, evidence of his folk culture roots, clashed with the class’s popular culture.

a. Folk Culture b. Values c. Environmental Possibilism d. Material culture e. Popular Culture f. Culture g. Environmental determinism h. Cultural Trait i. Non-material culture j. Norms k. Behaviors
