1. deaf children are more likely to understand and use concrete nouns and familiar action verbs over more abstract and general words;
2. deaf children have smaller expressive vocabulary;
3. deaf children have smaller receptive vocabulary (because they have fewer opportunities to expend them); So, Deaf children‟s vocabulary skills are better when words have only a single meaning or when they are presented in context rather than in isolation.

Vocabulary match Developing a basic vocabulary for a job interview through a game Game “Vocabulary match”: The participants find out the matches between the new words and their English definition. Group work (3-4): The participants can discuss among each other which definition is fitting to which word. In this way, they practice again conversation in general and can learn from each other (especially the participants with a lower language level from those with a higher level).
Vocabulary. Conserved - protected or saved Delegations - body of people acting as a representative of a larger group African Americans (adopted from New York Public Library) World War I was a transformative moment in African-American history. The American industrial economy grew significantly during the war. However, the conflict also cut off European immigration and reduced the pool of available cheap labor. Unable to meet demand with existing European immigrants and white women alone, northern businesses increasingly looked to black southerners to fill the void. In turn, the prospect of higher wages and improved working conditions prompted thousands of black southerners to abandon their agricultural lives in the south and moved to urban areas in the North. In a movement known as the Great Migration, between 1914 and 1920 roughly 500,000 black southerners packed their bags and headed to the North. Another factor that drove many African Americans to the urban areas in northern states during the Great Migration was the proliferation of violence against blacks in the Xxx Xxxx era. Xxx Xxxx laws were in effect across the United States, but lynching and violence against blacks was most heavily concentrated in the southern states. On a more positive note, the Great Migration also supported cultural growth in the arts and music in urban areas for African Americans; an example of this was the Harlem Renaissance. The war most directly impacted those African Americans called to fight and labor in the military overseas. Over 200,000 crossed the Atlantic and served in France. The war became a rallying point for black leaders to call for political change at home. It would be insincere, many black people argued, for the United States to fight for democracy in Europe while African Americans remained second-class citizens at home. "If America truly understands the functions of democracy and justice, she must know that she must begin to promote democracy and justice at home first of all," Xxxxxx Xxxx of New York proclaimed. When many black soldiers returned to the United States looking for employment and seeking the rights they had as equals on the battlefield, tensions arose. In 1919, the United States saw major race riots across the country; known as “Red Summer” the violence spread throughout the country resulting in the deaths of many African Americans.
Vocabulary. Migration - movement from one part to another Insincere- false, fake, artificial Immigrants (adopted from Library of Congress) During the industrial era, immigrants from various parts of Asia and Eastern and Southern Europe came in even greater numbers than those from Western Europe. Immigration to the United States continued through the industrial era of the 1900’s until World War 1. During this time period, nearly 15 million immigrants came through American shores. Many arrived at ports of entry such as Xxxxx Island in New York, or Angel Island in California. As the American economy grew at a rapid pace between 1820 and 1900, so did the number of immigrants working as laborers. All of this changed in 1917, when the United States government passed a major immigration restriction law as a result of US entry to World War 1. This law required a literacy test of all immigrants. World War 1 also meant that discrimination against immigrants in the United States began to rise; they were less likely to get jobs, more likely to be arrested or harassed, and generally not welcome in the United States. Fears of Bolshevism, anarchy, and communism led to the Red Scare where many immigrants were suspected of treason and arrested, often without real cause. In general, World War 1 led to a rise in xenophobia, or a fear of immigrants, in America. Bolshevism - communist form of government Anarchy - state of disorder or chaos, many immigrants were often accused of this Communism - political theory popular in Europe after World War 1, especially amongst Eastern Europeans Homework: Effects of the War - Directions: America’s participation in World War I had many effects on American society.

Vocabulary. Conservation - save, protect from harm or destruction or overuse Sustenance - nourishment, food needed for growth and good health Vitality - state of being strong and active Compelled - forced or pressured Civil Liberties (adopted from the Carnegie Council) World War I is an example of a war overseas that deeply affected individual rights at home. There was great suspicion of American immigrants, including Germans, and tension over immigrants heightened after war was declared. There was also concern about foreign espionage and sabotage. In this atmosphere, Congress passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and then the Sedition Act of 1918. These laws limited civil liberties - both of these placed limits on free speech, freedom of expression, and thought. President Xxxxxx also created the Committee on Public Information. The Committee was charged with encouraging American war support, and it became, in essence, a supplier of domestic propaganda. The committee also censored media reporting about the war. In this way, the Xxxxxx Administration sought to manage public opinion during the war through suppressing dissent and critical reporting, and by working to generate pro-government information.
Vocabulary. Espionage - spying Sabotage - destroy or damage Civil Liberties - freedoms such as the freedom of speech, religion, protest, etc. Propaganda - biased information meant to publicize a viewpoint Censored - edit to be favorable to one point of view Dissent - disagreement Red Scare (adopted from Massachusetts - Red Scare) During the Red Scare of 1919 - 1920, many in the United States feared recent immigrants and dissidents, particularly those who embraced communist, socialist, or anarchist ideology. The causes of the Red Scare included: World War I, which led many to embrace strong nationalistic and anti-immigrant sympathies, The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, which led many to fear that immigrants, particularly from Russia, southern Europe, and eastern Europe, intended to overthrow the United States government; Self-proclaimed anarchists' mailing bombs to prominent Americans, including United States Supreme Court Justice Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Enraged by the bombings, the United States government responded by raiding the headquarters of radical organizations and arresting thousands of suspected radicals, mostly immigrants. Several thousand who were immigrants were deported. The largest raids occurred on January 2, 1920 when over 4000 suspected immigrant radicals were seized nationwide.
Vocabulary. Dissidents - person who opposes official policy Ideology - system of ideas Military Draft (adopted from History Channel) What the Allies desperately needed, were fresh troops to relieve their exhausted men on the battlefields of the Western Front, and these the U.S. was not immediately able to provide. Despite Xxxxxx’x effort to improve military preparedness over the course of 1916, at the time of Congress’s war declaration the U.S. had only a small army of volunteers—some 100,000 men—that was in no way trained or equipped for the kind of fighting that was going on in Europe. To fix this situation, Xxxxxx pushed the government to adopt military conscription or a draft, which meant mandatory service of the men randomly selected. To that end, Congress passed the Selective Service Act, which Xxxxxx signed into law on May 18, 1917. The act required all men in the U.S. between the ages of 21 and 30 to register for military service. Within a few months, some 10 million men across the country had registered in response to the military draft.
