Gift your students the words to develop into sophisticated thinkers and writers and fill that empty space under your whiteboard!
Student: “The author is angry.” You: “How angry?”
Student: “They created change during the era.” You: “How much change?”
Student: “Free speech is an important right in America.” You: “How important?”
And point to the line.
Instantly, your students will upgrade their emerging thinking and offer a much stronger position. They had the higher-level idea all along, they just didn’t have the word. And as teachers, we sometimes forget that.
Now they will have the words thanks to this use-every-day tool.

- Editable Google Slides file with over 25 quantifier adverbs words that represent a continuum of positions
- Display signage options to guide student thinking
- Handout reference sheet for students to have their own copy
- Tips for selecting fonts, printing, and displaying to customize it perfectly for your classroom

This resource provides a simple but meaningful visual that helps students better grasp the question of "how much." It's a strong complement to other writing-based anchor charts. – fellow teacher-author
