- A self-grading Google Forms test for each vocabulary list. The students must choose the correct word to match the definition from a dropdown list. Then they must type the correct vocabulary word to fill in sentence blanks.
- An Easel test for each vocabulary list. These tests are identical to the Google Forms tests mentioned above. However, Easel does not have a fill-in-the-blank option. Students will choose the correct word from the list to fill in the blank. All questions are single select.

- A sheet that looks similar to a Frayer model. It is blank and can be used with any vocabulary word. Students can use this to identify the definition, part of speech, synonyms, and antonyms.
