One of the "Write Traits" that we have been working on is "Word Choice". Word Choice is the vocabulary we use when we write, that gives our work its meaning. It is important to make good word choices when we write. We need to choose just the right words. For example, instead of using the word "big" we might use "huge" or "gigantic".**
