Word Book

Word Journal

What is your relationship with language and words? This project asks each student to consider his or her personal relationship with words. You will create a journal of words from a number of different categories listed below.

1.       your first word
2.       your top ten favorite words
3.       your top five least favorite words
4.       a word that has gotten you into trouble
5.       a word that is often used to describe you
6.       one of your relative’s favorite words
7.       one of your friend’s favorite words
8.       a slang or made-up word you like to use
9.       a word you learned in the past year
10.   an original collective noun of your own*
11.   an original word for a thing/idea/concept, etc. that has no English word

*more on this topic later

Your book of words should have a creative cover and be visually appealing. The pages inside should be thoughtfully designed—use pictures or drawings, etc. Each section should be labeled according to the categories above. Please cite any sources consulted. You are required to have fun creating this project. 


The book is due Thursday, 9/24.
