When and where did I find the word: Isthmus is a word that I came across when reviewing with my students for a geography test in Social Studies.
What it means: Isthmus is a small strip of land that connects two larger bodies or land..
Level of Familiarity: I do not believe I have heard this word in at least 12 years. If I have heard it before it was during my own 8th grade year and I have never used it since.
Do I want to know this word well and tell why? I find it interesting that I have never heard this word previous to this lesson, however it is an important word to someone who my live in Panama, which is considered an Isthmus.
Do think others should know this word well....if so who and why? It may be important for others to know to help them define vocabulary when reading a book to students.
