WOW- I have not posted on this board in a few years! But here goes... I am going to do a bulletin board on tiresome words that should not be used so often by my budding writers. I got one idea from Pintrest entitled " said is dead" where kids can come up with multiple synonyms for said. I also will use "went is spent," and look for suggestions like ambled, strolled, etc. to express how someone or something moves. Basically I am looking for a catchy title for the board...first I thought of a word cemetery, but think that theme may be a bit too depressing. I also thought of the "overused word retirement home" - again I must be PC in choosing...and we all know that most everything can be deemed offensive to some. Ay ideas? This is 5th grade.
