Teacher-only planning companion for Unit 2 Historical Vocabulary Glossary. Use it to treat disciplinary language as teaching infrastructure, not an optional extra.

The glossary gives students the language needed to name the systems and power relationships at work in Unit 2.

Best used as a live classroom reference, not a one-off worksheet only.
