How Do We Describe Ourselves?

Classmates consider adjectives to describe each other, then go online to hunt for synonyms. Next, they rotate around the room and write the most accurate adjective for each of their friends on (nondigital) word clouds. Each adjective may only be used once, so the challenge is to find synonyms others haven't written yet. Vocabulary extends with every squeak of the dry erase marker. Finally, each student chooses their favorite adjective, then explains why it's the perfect descriptor. 

"Kindness in words creates confidence. 

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. 

Kindness in giving creates love." 

-Lao Tzu
