Better Words For...


I know there are a lot of charts and pages out there that show lists of better words students could use in their writing, but always thought there must be a more visually pleasing way to display them out there somewhere. During my university degree we took a tutorial at Varsity Lakes School (on the Gold Coast, Australia). While there I saw a great (and colourful!) way of displaying better vocabulary for students. I have to apologise for not remembering the teachers name to give kudos but it was quite a while ago!! They were home-made and simple but very effective. Just the words cut out and glued onto coloured cardboard.
These are the ones I made- they are a bit different to the ones I originally saw. They are great for brightening up the room in a functional way :)

Also, apologies for the quality of some of the photos, the lights created a bit of glare on some of them from the angle I was taking the photo...

Better words for big:


Better words for happy:


Beter words for said:
 

Better words for nice:



I also made one for high modality word as we were writing persuasive texts at the time I made these:
