Larry Bell's Power Words

Larry Bell is a motivational speaker, known in education for his twelve Power Words.  It is believed that these twelve words are an important part of anyone's vocabulary.  In order to expose our kids to these core words, I created a display case with a different word and it's definition each day.  Once each word had been displayed, the rotation starts over again.

If you would like to refresh your memory on these twelve words, feel free to use the information below:

Power Word	Definition
trace	outline, list in steps, or follow the path
analyze	break it into parts, tell about the parts
infer	read between the lines; what is the hidden meaning?
evaluate	judge it, tell the good and the bad
formulate	create, put together
describe	tell about, paint a picture with words
support	back it up or prove it with details
explain	teach me or show me, tell me the steps
summarize	tell the main idea, tell the beginning, middle, and end
compare	tell all the ways they are the same
contrast	tell all the ways they are different
