Unusual+Word+Wall


 * Unusual Word Wall**

Ask students to post unusual words that they find – the more unusual, the better. Discuss the words with students until they have a good understanding of what they mean and how they are used. Encourage students to provide an illustration of the word or synonyms to go with the posting. You may also choose to create different categories, such as hard-to-pronounce words, words we don’t understand, ugly words, or words that are spelled funny.
