In this activity, your goal is to fully understand a word in just 10 minutes. You are not just memorizing a definition—you are learning how to explain it, use it, and recognize it in context.
You will have 10 minutes to study your word. During this time, focus on:
- The definition (in your own words)
- A few synonyms or antonyms
- How to use the word in a few sentences
- A quick example or situation that shows what the word means
When time is up, all notes must be put away. Then, write at least 150 words from memory only. In your writing, you should:
- Clearly explain the meaning of the word
- Use the word correctly in at least one sentence
- Show that you truly understand it (not just copied a definition)
