Synopsis: Finding just the right word is often a mighty big struggle for student writers and seasoned writers alike. Each week we will explore a cluster of words and, teasing out their connotations, discover lost meanings and functions. Our approach helps students to utilize higher order thinking skills by asking them to slow down and mindfully consider each word’s function in a well crafted, complex Example poetry lines. Over the course of this exploration, students will unearth the rich potential in an abecedarian of words, enriching their lexicon each week with four remarkable additions.
