I'm Talking BIG!

In writing we have been working on revising our writing by using more exciting words.  Today we read an awesome poem:  I'm Talking Big!

I’m Talking Big!

By: Colin McNaughton

I’m talking big!

I’m talking huge!

I’m talking enormous, immense,

Tremendous!

I’m talking hulking, towering,

Titanic, mountainous!

I’m talking maximum, massive, stupendous, gigantic, monumental!

I’m talking fantastic, fabulous,

Incredible, unbelievable, mammoth,

Vast!

I’m talking astronomical, mighty,

Monstrous, universal, colossal,

Magnificent, galactical!

I’m talking BIG!
