What educators are saying
I plan to have these printed on colored paper and hole punched for students to add to their literacy folders at the beginning of next school year!
My students refer to these lists all the time to use in their writing. I made a copy for each student to have access to. They store them in their writing folders!
Description
This download includes 9 lists that will help your students show rather than tell in their writing. Below are the categories for the lists. Set-up is super easy! Just print, staple together, cut the pages in half, and have students glue the back into their journal. These are a quick, easy reference for students during writer's workshop.
Lists:
1. Vivid verbs
2. Sensory words
3. Adverbs (how)
4. Adverbs (degree, frequency, when, where)
5. Dead words (said, laughed, went, looked)
6. Dead words (big, small, sad, happy, good, bad)
7. Colors
8. Narrative transitions
9. Expository transitions
