Over-Used Words Bulletin Board

I love her idea! Tombstones...fall and Halloween, but not just for show. All my bulletin boards MUST have a real purpose. Fri Jul 07, 2006 12:54 pm    Post subject: Variation on word walls
Another variation the word wall is the "dead" or "retired" word wall. The concept allows you to take all the worn-out, overused, and boring words students use and display them to help students *eliminate* them from their writing. Of course, using a tombstone motif won't really go over too well in some schools, so you might put the words "out to pasture" instead.
