Word Choice Activity
For this activity select some words from the story that can be more vibrant and descriptive. Write these words in a wedge in the center circle. Think of a few words that are synonyms for the word in the center wedge and write them in the middle section. Repeat this process one more time with each word in the middle section. Strive to write words with deeper meaning as you move away from the center. You will now have many words that are more vibrant for the words in the center of the circle.
This example below has some advanced vocabulary in the outer circle, but as your vocabulary grows you will use words similar to those. Notice how there is an increase depth of meaning from the center wedges to the middle section.
