Delicious Words

What is a delicious word? It is a word that is delicious to the mind and the mouth! We discussed delicious words and how we can look and listen for them in our writing and reading. We are making lists of delicious words. We also had a delicious feast last week, after brainstorming some delicious "non-junk food" items, while sharing our delicious words. It was timely to also discuss word choice with our "I Am" poems. For example, some writers chose to use sluggish instead of slow and plucked in place of get. Word choice will be a focus throughout Writing Workshop the entire year.
