BEYOND PROPOSALS:
 * Story Snowball/Unfold a Story:** Give students a story starter or any prompt and after so many seconds, take a word from the word wall and have the students incorporate the word into their writing. This can be individual or students can do a paper pass so the writing is collaborative.

Stir the Class Q&A (hard copy to be passed around at meeting)
 * Clues:** Take down words from the word wall or put them on index cards. Have a student choose one of the words. He/she writes a set of clues for the word and then unveils the clues one by one for the entire class or his/her small group or partner. Example of clue starters:
 * This word isn’t
 * This word is
 * You may see or hear this word in _situation
 * A sentence for this word is
 * Flex It Categorization** (hard coy to be passed around at meeting)
