In writers workshop this week, we dug through our writing for verbs that we could make even stronger. We looked for a "said" that could maybe become a "whisper," "shouted," "yelled," "mumbled," or "chuckled." We looked for a "went" that could become a "trotted," "trudged," or "strutted."
We then made some action heroes! Using a list of strong verbs that students have in their binders, they wrote some of their favorites to glue around their action heroes.
