Specific Vocabulary

I have had the idea for a long time to do some sort of Vocabulary Unit where the words are functional and have to do with real life, things that kids will experience and come across in real-life.  I came up with the following list:

 

Travel:

               *Itinerary                         *Embassy

    *Layover                                                        *Luggage

                *Gate         *Terminal

                    *Security                                                                    *Check luggage

Financial:

                        *Credit (Card)  *Mortgage

*Debit (card)                                *Reimburse

                        *Collateral                                    *Gross Income

                        *Stock                                              *Net Income

                        *Currency                             *Salary

                        *Traveler’s Check                          *Wage

                        *Deposit                                           *Transaction

                        *Withdrawal

Education:

                   -Tuition

                   -Transcript

                    -Resume

                    -ACT (American College Test)/ SAT (Scholastic Atitude Test)

                  *Undergraduate (undergrad)

             *Graduate (Grad)

            *Bachelors (BA or BS)

            *Masters (MS or MS)

            *Application

            *Scholarship

            *Grant

            *Grading on a curve

            *Rubric

Skin Care:

           *Moisturizer                    *Astringent                                    

       *Exfoliation                              *Non-comedogenic                                                

              *Foundation                               *Cosmetics    

               *Cellulite                                    *Keratosis Pilaris

Business Vocabulary:

 *Free Market                                                *Blue collar                        *White collar

 *Capitalism                                                  *Supply and Demand        *Black Market

Maybe a teacher could do an activity where they give these words to students to study and learn.  A teacher could also have students work in units to come up with their own specific vocabulary words (sports, music, etc.)
