The Power of Words Project

~ The Power of Words project ~

What you say matters. Words have power.
Words have the power to share, to inspire, to change.
You can also represent yourself by a single word.

*Objective -- I will identify powerful words so that I can interpret and display my own powerful word that either inspires me or represents me.
I know that I have been successfulwhen I create a paragraph, connecting why this word matters, how it’s powerful and/or how it inspires me.

The Power of Words:
Choosea word that inspires you, is powerful or represents you

-Pick a word(Google it) that isbold, meaningful or significant (Nothing too simple like great, cool, nice, or awesome, etc…)
-Pick an adjective or descriptive word.
-Copy down the definition of the word.
-Create a paragraph that is at least6 sentences long(Use any or all of the questions below for your writing response):
-What is the power of the word or what does it means to you (2-3 sentences)?

-How is the word inspiring?
-Does the word remind you of anything important?

Ms. G’s example:
Appreciate - To recognize with gratitude

Appreciate means that you should be grateful. You should understand and value both what you have and the people in your life. It’s important to remember how a little appreciation goes a long way. I find appreciate to be such an inspiring word because it takes no money, no time and no effort to show it. However, that little effort of appreciation can strongly affect others. I feel that the word appreciate represents me because I am mindful about letting people know that I appreciate them. To appreciate others and to feel appreciated is a lasting feeling that everyone deserves to experience.
