Mini-Lesson
We are all killers; we are killing the English language every time we use vague, boring words when we are supposed to be expressing ourselves! Today we are going to lay these boring words to rest.

Let's start by writing an epitaph to bid farewell. Then, we will build a wordle full of vivid, precise, and lively words that we can use in our writing.
