Ladies,
I never had the opportunity to describe to you what a typical WOD quiz consists of. It has three parts:
1. matching
2 fill in the blank
3. craft your own excellent sentences
The matching portion is very straight forward: you're given all the words in one line and all the definitions that we agreed upon in the other, and you simply match them! This activity tests your passive knowledge of the definitions.
The fill in the blank portion consists of sentences with a word left out. You select the most appropriate word from the word bank - one that makes the sentence complete and comprehensible. (Note: sometimes there are more than one word that fit into a given sentence.)
Finally, the craft your own sentence is an opportunity for you to show your active ability to use the vocabulary. I'm looking for sentences that not only use the word correctly, but also allow to reader to be able to accurately guess at a possible meaning for the word. For example, let's consider the word inane.
"That question is inane." - here the word is used correctly, but it doesn't give me much idea of what the word means.
"Inane questions get on my last nerve...I can't tolerate silly, stupid questions and comments that don't further our knowledge!" - lets the reader guess that inane probably means "silly, stupid, empty..."
See me if you have further questions!
