Buzz Word Word Walls

This "Buzz Word" flash-card set helps me to keep a focus on various levels of lesson goals, review, etc. and can be used in whatever capacity you wish.

What I found was most useful, was to make the words huge, mount them on large note-cards or construction paper (laminated if possible) ad nstick a magnet or sticking gum to adhere it to the board, drawing the students' attention.

This is not meant to be a lesson in itself, rather is meant to help focus on specific areas of writing in the various modes.  Have fun!  And feel free to decorate the cards!  Again, my material is open-source, and I would love and welcome any feedback or comments that could make the tool more valuable for others in the future!
