The first card in the deck states the instructions and also includes a word bank with all 20 words. Students read the text and they can also click on the audio symbol to hear the directions and words in the word bank, plus all the definitions, read aloud. The cards have 4 types of multiple choice and fill in the blank responses, with 5 cards in each set: a) Cards 2 - 6: Multiple choice with 4 possible answers b) Cards 7 - 11: Multiple choice with 2 possible answers c) Cards 12 - 16: Fill in the blank with the correct word; these cards provide a picture as a clue d) Cards 17 - 21: Multiple choice with 3 possible answers This resource is aimed at English Language Learners with an intermediate level of language proficiency and higher. Other students may also find it helpful. You may want to tell your students that the word “general” can be used in 2 ways and the other word is an adjective. Teaching ELLs and other students multiple meaning words helps them develop their vocabulary.
