Re: How do you teach vivid verbs and specific nouns?

More | Report Post

you can put verbs on a card and have students find their pairs. Once they
find their pairs, they can come up with more vivid verbs.

For Example Card 1- said Card 2- exclaimed Card 3- jump Card 4- hurdle

Mix up the cards and hand them out. Students will look for their synonym
pairs and figure out which word is boring and which word is vivid. Then
students can form more vivid words..

Jump/Hurdle pair can sit and think of more words like leap, hop, etc
