  1. Ted Who is Ted? Why is Ted with the boy? What is an imaginary friend? TED - GRADE 3

  2. 5 – I picked just the right words to express my ideas and feelings. • Every word seems exactly right: specific and accurate. • The words create pictures that linger in your mind. • Colorful, fresh and snappy – yet nothing’s overdone. • Striking words and phrases catch your eye. • Lively verbs, precise nouns, and descriptive modifiers. • Accurate and precise: that’s me! TED - GRADE 3

  3. 3 – It might not tweak your imagination, but hey – it gets the messageacross. It’s very general. • Words are adequate and correct, but not very original. • My words communicate, but they seldom create pictures in your mind. • I might have over-utilized my thesaurus… • I used quite a few passive verbs and everyday nouns, adjectives, and adverbs. • I didn’t revise much for word choice. What you see if pretty much the first thing that popped into my head. • It’s functional, with only a moment or two of sparkle. TED - GRADE 3

  4. 1 – My reader is likely to ask, “Huh?” • I’m a victim of vague wording and fuzzy phrasing. • It’s hard to picture what I’m talking about. • Maybe I misused a word or two… • My vocabulary is limited and/or I’ve misused words. • Some redundant words and phrases might be redundant; too many clichés. • The words just don’t work in this piece. TED - GRADE 3

  5. Here are questions you can ask yourself about IDEAS. Did I write about a small idea, a seed idea? Is my message clear? Do I know a lot about my topic? Do I have interesting details? Here are questions you can ask yourself about WORD CHOICE. Did I use any new words? Do my words make sense? Did I use precise words, just the right word? So ask yourself… TED - GRADE 3
