What’s the Word for the Week? (Diction)
Writing Lesson: Surprise, it’s about diction again.
Remember how we said some words are loaded, that they have baggage, that they gave CONNOTATIONS that have to do with our own personal associations?
1. Well, turn to page 19, to “Playing with Words”.
2. I’m going to give you five minutes to fill in as many words as you can. You CAN USE any of the twenty words you listed for Death of Language.
3. Trade three times for smileys.
4. We’ll share out our best word from each category.
Sharing
1. Share Six-Word Memoirs/Stories—IF we didn’t hear yours yesterday!
2. Saved Words—pick ONE you want to tell us about when it’s your turn to share.
