This website displays a fun take on vocabulary. It uses pictures, often in a sarcastic or mocking nature, as an example of the vocabulary word being taught. It also has videos demonstrating how the word can be used. The website can be used as a tool in a fifth grade classroom, as well as high school and English language learners. I think it can be especially helpful to learners who have a better understanding of a word when a visual example is given.
Example:
Zealous
Clearly, little Webster is over zealous about coloring.
