ESPN:
B. 1) Using ESPN, write each vocabulary word in the correct category on the Chart on the back page. WORDS NOT
WRITTEN ON THE CHART ITSELF WILL NOT BE GRADED – PERIOD.
2) Choose ONE RELATIONSHIP (below) which best represents how/why your word fits into a particular category.
Choose your relationship FIRST, and then locate the category (it will be the same category where your word example is
found). Also, always remember context (how the word is used in a certain passage or situation) is king! See the example
on the ESPN Chart—the first one is done for you.
ESPN Categories and Relationship Examples:
Economic relates to money, taxes, industry, agriculture/farming, jobs, availability of resources, ways people organize for
production, distribution and consumption of key goods/services (How do we make it, use it, export it, or import it?)
Social/Cultural relates to cultural aspects of groups such as language, religion, leisure activity, customs, traditions, food,
clothing, population density, immigration, cultural diversity, lifestyle, leisure time, traditional roles within society, the
impact of cultural customs and traditions (How do they all interact?)
Political relates to the functions and procedures of government, laws, and elected officials; political aspects of a
situation (Who has the power and control?)
eNvironment relates to the surrounding physical environment and/or geographical setting that impacts people in a
given region or the outcome of an historical event; these factors also include how the physical geography affects
resource distribution, political power, social/cultural factors; it may also include conservation and the changing aspects
of resource management (How does where we live affect our culture?)
