Help your students expand their vocabulary with 185 vocabulary words, one a day. This comes with a student bell-ringer/warm-up sheet where they have to redefine the word, use it in a sentence, and list possible synonyms and antonyms for the word.
I am using this to teach about 1st person for our Gothic narratives, but it can be used for any story using 1st person! I am also doing a word cloud activity on the board to help them with #3 Strong Word Choice... students will add to the cloud as they write!
