Today in class, we went over the narrative vocab quiz. We spent some time highlighting the hidden context clues. Our vocab quizzes are not just about applying knowledge of new vocabulary, but they also evaluate students' ability to read closely and carefully.
Some tips that we discussed:
Read the entire narrative when taking the quiz so that you don't miss any context clues.
Practice process of elimination skills by determining the required part of speech and eliminating all words that do not fit.
"Study" for the quiz by memorizing definitions and then by spending some time "researching" the use of the word on google to get an idiomatic, connotative and denotative sense of the word.
