When I was still in college, I tried to come up with a better to way to do vocabulary that attempts to reach each sort of learner. In one of my first education classes we discussed four types of students WHATs, WHYs, HOWs, and WHAT IFs. They each focus on one thing they see as imortant. WHAT does this have to do with me, WHY is this important to me, HOW does this affect me, WHAT IF it was like this, or this, or this......
So I came up with W.W.H.Ns. 
WWHN (Who, what, how, now) I give them a short list of important people or events and they write a WWHN about each one. 

The way it works is that they have to identify WHO person(s), or group of interest. Then they have to write out WHAT is was or WHAT is so important about them. Next they have to say HOW they affected history. Lastly, they have to think about how they/it affects us NOW. When I learned this, I was told it can be used in all subjects.
