Designate a "muscle words" section on your bulletin/white board to bulk up wimpy word choice in student's writing with stronger, more creative synonyms! (As a class, brainstorm alternative choices for basic, overused words in writing...such as happy, run, walk, etc. and put them on index cards in a pocket labeled with that word.) Mine are on removable velcro tabs so they can remove them and take them back to their seat as they work!

A great way to get students to think about other words that could mean the same thing. Jennifer Mosansky
