Table of Words • Each of you, in your READING RESOURCES section will make this chart and when checking binders, I will look for a long version of this:
Which Words? • Verbs must be RHETORICALLY ACCURATE VERBS • You must include 10 TONE WORDS • Nouns, adjectives and adverbs must come from any text we use in class (short stories, AoWs, etc).
By the end of the semester… • You will turn in a table that includes at least 65 words • Of those words THREE will be decorated and turned in no later than • Decorated words MUST be tone words, rhetorically accurate verbs or adjectives only. NO NOUNS • If your decorated word goes on the WORD WALL then you will get 5 extra credit points
