Day 12 - Shades of Meaning

Now that you have your rough draft down, we need to look at jazzing it up a bit. One way that we to do this is through strong word choice. To give our class a variety of words to add to their writing we are going to complete an activity called, Shades of Meaning.

1. Take a paint sample card (in class).

2. In the top box write an adjective that you used in your rough draft, but were not very excited by the word. Example: fun

3. In each box under your adjective write a synonym for that word. Example: enjoyable

4. When your paint sample card is full, tape the card on the front white board. Also type your words here on the blog so that we can all use them in our writing.
