How to assign vocabulary sets
Use the Vocabulary tab to navigate to vocabulary sets. Once you find a set you want to assign, simply click the Assign button.
A box will pop up, allowing you to:
Choose to assign a vocabulary set to an entire class, or individual students
Leave a note for students about their assignment
Indicate whether an assignment is for use in class or meant for homework
When you move on to Assignment Options, you have a two choices:
Same settings for all students, or
Different settings for different students
Within the settings options, you can make decisions about assigning with Spaced Repetition, forcing students to restart the deck each time they make a mistake, enabling a timer, or assigning Spanish Supports, if available.
Assign with Spaced Repetition: Vocabulary decks will be assigned multiple time to students and will lock up at certain intervals according to Zinc's Spaced Repetition approach.
Unchecked "Force student to restart deck after incorrect answer":
If the box is unchecked, it is also known as "Fast Mode", an alternative to our classic gameplay mode which is easier for students at first, and becomes progressively more challenging
The word bank is open by default
Students aren't required to restart a game if they get a single question wrong; rather, they can keep going until they get all right.
Point accumulation is diminished (students score 60% of what they would if they played classic mode, or both boxes unchecked)
Timer: Students play vocabulary assignments with time restraints
Assign Spanish Support Option: If translations are available for the words on Zinc, you have the option to provide Spanish Supports for your English Language Learners.
