Students are using their thesauri to broaden their vocabularies and become better writers. Our on-demand writing has improved this year. However, student writing can continually improve when new vocabulary words are incorporated into their writing! Students have been faithfully using their dictionaries all year and occasionally used the thesaurus to give their writing a little 'spice'.
Some of the words we investigated today are: get-gave, take, receive, obtain, gain (examples from one thesauri we used...)
good great stuff myth real ready quick tease tempt go joy loud mad loose look move narrate open opinion realize imagine improve fable cooperate
Word challenges: meager mediocrity renown honor humanity final fop fiendish exonerate blame
Spare words: boast baffle pretend prefer discipline ready hint color cheer angry announce ample
