Interactive Notebook “Dead” Words Cut-Outs

*Every year I spend time teaching my students how to sophisticate their writing. One of the activities I do is teaching my students to replace their “dead” words, or the non-descriptive words, with more sophisticated language.

I created these nifty cut-outs for my students to glue into their interactive notebooks in their writing section. This way, they will always have a reference page to refer back to for their sophisticated words. I wanted to share this!

Flannery O’Connor said, “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” The importance of journal writing is endless: it will help mental clarity, stimulate creative thinking, problem-solving, self-reflection, increase self-awareness and identity, and many other benefits. It is a great warm-up activity to pair with silent reading. Students’ writing can be taken for a grade or participation grade. This list contains over 180 prompts (including quotes) and is editable so you can delete any that do not suit your audience and add some of your own! Follow me so you can be notified ASAP and can download the most current version of this lesson. If you found this lesson helpful please leave a positive review at my store, thank you!
