Rave Reviews:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I bought this to use with writing, but it has been multi-purpose. Students used to have a difficult time with tone in literature because of their lack of vocabulary. This resource makes it easy for them to recognize and then use new words because of the assigned classifications. It has made a huge difference for students in both writing and reading. Thank you so much!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This was used as a resource for my AP students as they were creating thesis statements for their Prose and Poetry essays. Great resource to help boost vocabulary during the year before the exam!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I love this list! I've used it for 9 years in my classroom and it's always such a great starting point for tone! Thank you!
