Editor's Notes

  1. Do the same for other senses. Generate vocabulary lists that students can refer to when using descriptive language. Have them make connections between this food and something else they have eaten. Do comparisons. Have students make evaluation of food items. Ex. What are academic ways to say “good” 9delicious, tasty, amazing, delectable etc.)
  2. Have students practice and become familiar with new words in a relaxed and informal fashion.
  3. You can do the same thing for curse words. Depending upon age group, and if they rely on certain words to express themselves, give them more precise language. Thesaurus charts can also be used with regular words.
