Verbs Make You Think!

During reading workshop, Ms Montilla showed us how the line, "...he jerked his head" helped her visualize the moment, and furthermore, how the verb chosen aided her image. BOPDs then took their good fit books and started looking for verbs that might do the same for them. Upon sharing, we found that we had different ideas and once we put all the verbs on a chart, we also began to see patterns about how the word affects a story.
