Almost every day, my students get a vocabulary word. Then, every ten days or so, they have a quiz. There are three parts to this quiz:

1. Matching
2. Fill in the blank, and
3. Using in a sentence.

I’m correcting just such a test right now and thought I’d share a few of the more interesting sentences I’m getting. The vocabulary word is in bold. I should have been collecting these all along.

• Now is the time of scrutinize.
• One day he will congenial.
• Don’t just citadel there, do something.
• Will you consensus soon?
• My old game had a doldrum because the other one is not as fun.
• I am a citadel because I am afraid someone will attack me.
• It is very hard to citadel in a very boring class.
• When I was playing with obtuse, I accidentally caught a goose.
• You have to aspire some clothing to get new ones.
• The woman had a citadel on the little boy.
• The man consensus his show cows every day.
• I can not play the doldrums.
• I aspire to pass 8th grade now, more than ever. (This from a student who failed the entire 1st semester. Note: She aced the test.)
• I think I have a congenial.
• I would like to have a scrutinize with you.
• Let’s cool our feet down over by that martyr over there.

Interesting side note:

I’m often amazed that a student who has no idea how to use the word in a sentence can pass (without cheating) the rest of the quiz (matching and fill in the blank) with flying colors. Then there are those that can use it in a sentence but bomb matching and fill in the blank.
