Context Test with lesson vocabulary
(A context test uses the meanings of the vocabulary in a sentence, e.g. context clues. Students must know the vocabulary word and its meaning and in most cases also know how the word is used in a sentence to be able to wrap their heads around this approach to learning vocabulary.)
