How to use the cards
Option 1: Students make individual sentences with each word on the card.
Option 2: Students have a few minutes to make up a brief story where they use all the words. With this option students may write out their sentences, but should be encouraged to look up and speak – not-read – their sentences. Students could also work in pairs or small groups, working with one card at a time.
Option 3: Use these cards in combination with grammar review.

With some words, the student is reminded that the meaning intended is a noun, or a verb, or an adjective, if the particular word has meanings in more than one word type. Please note that not all such cases have been marked – only the more common ones.
It is often the case that a word could have more than one meaning, even more than one meaning as a noun or a verb. In these cases, students should be encouraged to make sentences with as many meanings as they can think of.
A note on the randomness of the collections of words on the cards: Sometimes it may seem that the person who created the cards had reason to compile a certain set of words on one card. Rest assured that I worked off a list compiled by the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), and with the exceptions of one or two words, simply added the words as they appeared according to their usage rank.
