The following quote is from chapter one of Born to Run.
"Mrs Brightwell...was always on at Patrick about...using what she called "lazy words", such as 'cool' or 'wicked', or worst of all, 'whatever'."
Explain in your own words what Mrs. Brightwell means by lazy words. Come up with a list of six other "lazy words" that you or people you know sometimes use.
Don't forget to include your name when you post. And of course, your spelling must be "wicked". If it isn't, then that isn't "cool"...

I think what she means by lazy words is maybe they’re not good vocabulary words and they might not make much sense to some people. Some other lazy words could be sweet, awesome, amazing, funky, totally and wild. those are some lazy words that I totally don’t think Mrs. Bright well would like. Carly

(NOTE: epic, awesome and man have another meaning other then what they are known for. E.G. Man means ‘’buddy‘’)

Ms. Brightwell hates all words that people say are “cool” and can be “wicked” to say. Most kids don’t “care” about this and say “whatever”.
ReplyDeleteSome words I made up are “yo” and “um” and “fine” and “epic” and “pwn” and “sup” and “dude” and “boomage” and “like” and even “yeah”.
Mrs.Brighwell means that she doesn’t want students saying those words because they sound bad.
ReplyDeleteSome words I came up with are…
Like
Totally
Yo
Sup
Don’t care

Mrs. Brightwell means that people use “lazy words” just because they can’t find any words to fill in the space, or it is just a habit they can’t break, and sometimes it’s an abbreviation for actual words. Mrs. Brightwell doesn’t like “lazy words” because you are not using proper grammar or you could find a better word.
