Having to study for the GRE to get into graduate school is going well but I have to focus on more vocabulary words. How am I to do this with GW2 on the brain? EASY! I figured I could use a technique I used with my students one year.
I gave them a list of 100 words and they had to pick 10 to create a superhero or villain. It was actually inspired by GW1. I gave them words such as: ineptitude, malaise, barrage, eviscerate and empathy. They responded to it and got very creative. I guess what is good for the goose is good for the gander. And vice versa.
Wrote out 8 different sheets with the 8 different professions and the names/races I want each to be. Some characters have more vocabulary words since I only had an hour today...but I'll share Betty's list.
candid - honest in expression
effervescent - bubbly, lively
mettlesome- full of courage and fortitude (hehe); spirited
pellucid - transparent, translucent; easily understood
plucky - courageous; spunky
ebullient - the quality of lively or enthusiastic expression of thoughts and feelings
I figured that my human engineer is going to be upper class, so I gave him words that mean lavish or wealthy. My human necro will be lower class, so I gave her words that mean poor and dispassionate. The only toon I have no name or race for is my thief so "they" got all the nasty words usually attributed to thieves.
Not only will this be great for my studying but will help in preparing for RP. I realize my last two posts have been "blending" IC & OOC but without a setting to play out my character...What do you expect? :D
