Hegemony and Normalization Vocabulary Matching Board
A cut-and-paste vocabulary matching activity for 9th graders in Unit 3 on hegemony and normalization, where students match terms like institution, ideology, and implicit bias to their definitions and examples. It builds conceptual vocabulary for social analysis and short written explanations, and it works well as a flexible card-sort or review task within a single class period.
“Turn the attached document into one that the student can cut and paste the definitions and examples to the corresponding word”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or review at the start or end of the Unit 3 lesson, so students encounter the terms before reading or discussing texts that rely on them.
- Discussion question: Which of these terms describe something that is visible, like an institution, and which describe something harder to see, like an implicit bias? Why does that difference matter?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pair them with a partner, or provide a word bank that pairs each term with a simple plain-language gloss before they begin pasting.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write a sentence of their own that uses two of the terms together, such as how a dominant narrative sustains hegemony.
- Estimated time: About 30 to 40 minutes, including cutting, pasting, and a brief whole-class check of answers.
