Californa Silly Test (CST) Vocabulary
It’s an all new CST and you’re going to write the questions! Using this week’s vocabulary words, or any of the words listed on the CST vocabulary page, your job is to write silly questions. Your questions must use the vocabulary correctly and have only one correct answer. They need to be multiple choice, with four possible answer choices. Here’s a sample:
1. Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.
Mr. Kashman needs to choose something for his lunch. The pizza looks cold and greasy. The apples are bruised and shrivled. The salad has a dirty napkin in between its leaves. The warm coffee cake smells of sugar and cinnamon.
What is the best food for Mr. Kashman to choose?
a. the pizza
b. the apple
c. the salad
d. the cake
I used two vocabulary words in the sample above. Do you see them?
You may work with a group of up to four members or by yourself. You need to use all of this week’s vocabulary (so you may want to divide up the task). You can use more than one vocabulary word per question (I actually recommend it). I suggest you type your answers in word and then paste them into one big comment.
