Just Write It! 
Materials:
*Lined post-it-notes
*Chart Paper
*SAT Words and their synonyms (I will provide a list in late November) 
*A wall
 
Our courtesies wrote down SAT words and their synonyms on large chart paper and placed it next to the wall that would feature the post-it-note event. 
A morning announcement was made to promote the Just Write it Event and students came in to participate.  To make it more interesting, girls were given green post-its and boys were given yellow ones.  Pink post-it-notes were used if students/teachers were responding to someone's statement.
 
Tips:  Stress that students must keep their statements PG and let students know that it ISN'T a Complain Board.
Our students were fantastic - we had many profound statements and over 50 participants. Words like candid, fervent, and tenacious were used and yes, they were used correctly - Way to go Mustangs!  A special thanks to our teachers who got involved and encouraged our students to join in!
