I have experienced the whole school having a word list as a student. It could have worked better; it often tried to include these words in sentences throughout the various courses. It seemed forced and usually didn't make sense in context. It was viewed more as a checkmark to get it done instead of trying to use the word in a context that is appropriate and makes sense.
I also like the semantic maps and will most likely use them when I teach the major enduring issue themes in global history.
