#SaidIsDead - Twitter Hashtag

over 2 years ago

We recently did the #saidisdead lesson, "killing" the word "said" so students learn about synonyms and use different words in their writing. One student asked me today if it was really dead. He wondered if it was dead all over the world or just in Japan. Maybe I oversold it...

It was a sad day in 4th grade! Said has officially been worn out and will forever be remembered as stale and predictable! Good news is we learned all kinds of new words to take said’s place! #saidisdead #thisisthefuneral

Dearly beloved, we have gathered here to celebrate the life of “said.” It was a good run, but now we’ll use more precise vocabulary in our dialogue tags. RIP #saidisdead #4Rhappydreamers @WaverlyParkElem

🪦 R.I.P. SAID. You were a lovely word when we didn’t know any better ones, but now we do! What else could we add to our list? We would love suggestions! #saidisdead

What if we teach kids to revise their writing to choose words that really expresses what they are trying to say? #saidisdead #buryboringwords #thethirdgradelife @calder_road @acevedo_sophia @DickinsonISD

When your students over use words in their writing, you have a funeral, bury them, and find words that are more clear! #saidisdead @calder_road @acevedo_sophia

I found a lifesaving chart! Nescafe 2 in 1! It avoids both "said" and adverb alert. 🚨 #SaidisDead or #OnlyUseSaid, where do you stand on dialogue tags, #WritingCommunity #WritersCafe ? 🤔

Today we spoke about adding dialogue to our stories. We explored our “just right” texts for examples of dialogue. Students then met in groups to share their findings. I can’t wait to see students using dialogue in their narrative writing. #writing #dialogue #saidisdead

Today, Ss worked on revising their writing by recognizing that over-used words should “Rest In Peace” while deciding on more”lively” words to include in their writing. #saidisdead @WarrenES_BCPS
