Teacher Prompts, Cohesive, Logical linkers, Creative useAbstract
The purpose of the present research is to sensitize the tertiary level learners to the varied semantic connotations of lexical items through exercises in creative writing. To achieve the intended objective a four- tier pedagogy has been developed: Building lexical repertoire, motivating the learners for Creative use of the given lexical items with discreet Teacher Prompts and Finese through collaborative efforts of the learners. The hypothesis has been corroborated by the experiments carried out on three categories of students: Undergraduates, Post-Graduates and Research Scholars.

1. I wish I had the charm
To use my mind without a qualm And be given the space
Keep my innocence but
Still show my indomitable courage.
2. Strong is the mind who is able to find The distance and space which grind The charm and innocence of a child.
3. The strong mind finds it difficult To give space to innocence
The charm of innocence is strong than mind.
4. Your innocence beautifies my space I always grab in your charm
That swings my strong mind.
5. Your innocence is that charm That makes my mind strong And gives me space
Even to engulf the wrong.
