Prompt

Remix
Build a vocabulary lesson for [GRADE LEVEL] students using these words: [WORD LIST].

For each word give:
- a student-friendly definition (short, no harder words than the word itself)
- the part of speech
- one example sentence connected to [TOPIC OR TEXT WE ARE STUDYING]
- one common mistake or confusing look-alike word, if there is one

Then add:
1. A 10-minute activity that gets students using the words out loud or in writing (not just copying definitions).
2. A 5-question check with an answer key.
3. A short version of the list for students who need fewer words at once.
