I was studying anatomy and physiology in college, when I just was not understanding the material. On the third try of taking the course, I had a teacher that allowed us to submit questions that would be on the test. She would differentiate the test by providing matching, multiple choice, fill in the blank, labeling on the skeleton, so-on and so-fourth. Therefore, I decided that my students should be allowed to do the same thing. In an English class, we rarely give "tests" anyway. Most of our assessments are writing samples or presentations. Students will be able to practice using the content/context of the vocabulary word through creating the quiz.
⇒Make your own Kahoot
⇒Use Quizlet for Study Tools
I would use their quiz questions as tickets to leave after daily lessons to keep the use of vocabulary constant. Also, you can use their questions to create an end of the unit quiz. When students have control over what they learn, they are more likely to put forth the effort into creating something challenging.
