Said is DEAD!

When we were writing dialogue, we often use the word said to describe what someone is saying or
talking about. Ouch! Joni said after she stubbed her toe. Dont go in that old shed, my mother
said. In order to create interesting and engaging pieces of writing.the work said is no longer
available. I would like you to come up with a list of 10 alternative words you could use in the
place of said, looked, ran, and good. I have started each list for you. A thesaurus is a great way
to help compile your lists!
