Over the years as a teacher, professor, workshop leader, speaker, and writer, Meggin has prepared for a number of different projects by "messing around," experimenting, and playing with words and language. When she gets going on a project like this, she employs a variety of tools to keep the creative momentum moving.
Seeking words and playing with language in this way has allowed her to generate humongous lists of words and phrases to use for different purposes. This teaching tool of 1001 Descriptors is the result of one of these projects.
In the opening sections of 1001 Descriptors, Meggin shares some ways that teachers can use this list with students, colleagues, workshop participants (or even for yourself) to learn new words, expand written language, explore characterization, and energize groups who are working together.
