For any word that's appropriate (and most are), why not have students
draw a picture that shows the meaning of the word? I've done this and
in addition to tapping into the strengths of students who are visual
learners, it gives students a little time to think creatively.

I've always like having the students create a sentence using the word.
That allows you to know if they truly understand the meaning of the
word. Also gives you an idea about mechanics as well, which you can
grade separately.

Anyone have any advice on the best way to give teacher made vocabulary
tests. I want it to be more than just matching definitions and was
wondering
what other teachers use as a vocabulary assessment.
Thanks

Deep down we must have real affection for each other, a clear
realization or recognition of our shared human status. At the same
time, we must openly accept all ideologies and systems as a means of
solving humanity's problems. One country, one nation, one ideology,
one system is not sufficient.
