Self-Starter: In your notebooks, copy the list of "Dead Words." Add any others that are on the tombstones above the white board. Select 5 or more for which you will find better (more specific and lively) replacements. List several replacements for each of your five or more selected dead words.
Dead Words include get, got, very, nice, your, you, good, just, lots, a lot, well, fine, so, fun, great, every, the end, awesome, cool, fine, totally, rad, awesome, special, great, really.
We worked on the Children's books and put together our "green books."
