15. Vivid Verbs Verbs in your essay should be boisterous not monotonous So let’s change these boring verbs up! Here is an example of a dull paragraph (the verbs are underlined):

16. “A Day in the Cafeteria” Yesterday, the students in the cafeteria were wild. They were like kindergartners. Flying food was in the air and on the floor. Teachers ran from the chaotic scene as they covered their heads with trays. Ranch dressing covered Mrs. Q’s already hideous hairstyle. Mr. P fell on Jello that covered the floor, and he fell right on his behind. Milk came out of people’s noses all over the tables. Yesterday was a wild day in the CHS Cafeteria.

17. Now here’s the AMAZING fix:

18. “A Day in the Cafeteria” Yesterday, the students in the cafeteria were wild. They behaved like kindergartners. Flying food filled the air and covered the floor. Teachers dashed from the spasmodic scene as they protected their heads with trays. Ranch dressing saturated Mrs. Q’s already hideous hairstyle. Mr. P slipped on Jello that carpeted the floor, and he landed right on his behind. Milk erupted out of people’s noses all over the tables. Yesterday was a wild day in the CHS Cafeteria.

19. Your Turn! In the example paragraph, taken from a student essay, the verbs or verb forms that are used more than twice are highlighted. See if you can change some of these repeated verbs and verb forms by filling in the blanks Now choose one of your group members’ essays. Pull out one or two of their paragraphs to “spice” up. Write the new paragraphs on the big paper to post for everyone to see! You should always do this in your own essays (remember repetition=boring and a LOW score )
