I have been using anchor charts from my first day of teaching and often have the students create their own. Teachers have a thing for anchor charts

Word Sense

http://wordsense.me/

This fabulous language tool is a boon for teachers and students alike... it's more than a thesaurus, dictionary, graphic organizer, vocabulary and language tool and idea simulator.
