Help your students move beyond overused words and develop more precise, effective vocabulary!
This single-lesson resource focuses on three common words that often weaken writing: got, nice, and thing. Through guided activities, students will:
• Explore why these words are vague and unhelpful.
• Replace them with more accurate and expressive alternatives.
• Practice rewriting sentences and paragraphs to make their writing clearer, richer, and more engaging.
The lesson includes:
• A model paragraph with built-in editing task.
• Sentence-level practice for replacing got, nice, and thing.
• Opportunities for discussion and reflection.
This is a ready-to-teach lesson — simply download and deliver with no extra preparation. Perfect for vocabulary building, writing improvement, or quick cover lessons, this activity helps students gain confidence in choosing stronger words for their writing.
Encourage your learners to ditch “got, nice, and thing” — and discover the power of precise vocabulary!
