. =Welcome to the Sixth Grade Content Vocabulary Wiki!=

The resources on this wiki can help you preview, review, and deepen your understanding of content vocabulary for Sixth Grade Science and Social Studies at Sharon Middle School in Sharon, MA.

There are 19 pages on this wiki. Most contain a specific content area word bank, glossary and some activities to help you master the meaning of some of the important words for each unit. A final page gives additional resources that you might find useful as you preview and review vocabulary.

Most of the activities require you to actively recall and practice using the words. Remember that you learn words more effectively if you make learning vocabulary an active process. Memorizing the definitions in the glossary may help you pass the test at the end of the unit, but completing some of the activities will help you do that as well as ensure that some of the information becomes part of your schema. Then it is yours forever and can help you learn new material.

As you work with this Wiki, keep in mind the following:

The glossaries are based on words that your teacher is likely to want you to learn and understand. Some of the words on these glossaries may not be required by your teacher--and your teacher may have additional words that he or she wants you to know. When studying for tests, make sure you use the list provided by your teacher!

To access each unit, click on the desired topic listed at the side of this page or click on the Glogs below! Additional pages may be accessed through the navigation bar on the left.
