Keeper Verbs!

This week in writing we have talked about throwing away weak verbs and using “Keeper” verbs in our narratives.

Think about some of your favorite verbs. They add detail to your stories and paint vivid pictures in the minds of readers.

Please comment on this post by creating a list of your three favorite verbs.
Write the verbs in a list then create a sentence using each verb.

Example:
1. Bolted
2. Soared
3. Detest

Sentences:
1. As soon as I opened the door Claire bolted as fast as she could.
2. The ball soared through the air and it felt like time stood still as I watched the ball fall from the sky.
3. My mom placed the sprouts in front of me at the table, I detest sprouts.

Use the example above to help you with this post discussion.
