Over at Two Writing Teachers Ruth and Stacey have been choosing One Little Word for the last several years. The idea is to find a single word that expresses something you will work toward in the coming year.
I think it's a neat concept, and this is the second year that I've asked my students to do this, too. The assignment is for them to choose a word and then write a paragraph explaining why they want more of this in their lives.
Here is their list so far for this year:
A+
Appreciate
Believe
Caring
Change
Cookie
Create
Determination
Difference
Excited!
Focus
Free
Friendship
Fun!!!
Green!
Happiness
Join
Organize
Participation
Patience
Peace
Poetry
Practice
Service
Sing
Sleep
Success
Trust
Try
Violinist
Worldly
Oh, and my word for this year? It would definitely have to be Glee.
