<p>I'm doing this "words project" for IB Eng. II class, and I need some suggestions. It doesn't have to be in any certain format, and that's the part I'm having trouble with. I have to do something to describe how powerful words can be.</p>
<p>I might end up writing an essay or something -_-</p>
<p>help!</p>
<p>sorry, i'm not creative, just felt bad coz no one has replied</p>
<p>Maybe look at some famous speeches from the past couple centuries and pull out some words and phrases that are well-known today and describe the impact they have had. One idea..</p>
<p>ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.</p>
<p>how powerful words can be...hmm
by words do you mean the written word, the spoken word or both?</p>
<p>how about attempt to answer the question:</p>
<p>what would the world be like without words (in other words if everyone were mute and/or illiterate)?</p>
<p>you can critique essay word usage...take sentences and play with them. replace certain words with a higher level vocab and see how the meaning of the paragraph changes</p>
<p>analysis of colloquialisms/slang (who starts these sayings? where are they commonly used?)</p>
<p>what if you said certain things in the opposite tone...like say "i hate you" in a happy tone and say "I love you" in an moody, arrogant tone. how does this change the power of spoken word?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
