I’m getting my words from a GRE list :) so there are some I already know pretty well. Let me know if you want the actual PDFs for the words instead of my handwriting! (I only write them because I’m a person who needs to write to learn) 7 months ago
Cheerful readiness, promptness, or willingness.

I’ve had 19 students look up and use the word of the day over the last three weeks. What is really cool is that a few of them are still using the word even after the week is over!
This week’s word is “Astute” of keen perception or insight. 16 months ago
I had five students that went to the website to look up the word and three students that were able to use it in a sentence. I have very small classes, so I was happy with that result for the first try.
The new word is “obfuscate” – to confuse or bewilder hopelessly 16 months ago
I am trying a new experiment to improve my vocabulary and get my students to check my website. I am posting a word of the week on my teacher webpage. If a student uses the word correctly during class I will get them a candy bar of their choice for the next class. I will also try to use the word a few times myself. A few of the students seemed interested but I will have to see if I get any takers. The first word I chose was “acumen” – keen insight/ability to judge well. 16 months ago
