My Composition class spent the morning revising their introductory paragraphs. Each student has a different essay paper. The kids are bringing in work from other classes. We spend time discussing word choice in sentences. One tool we use is a thesaurus. An online thesaurus is fine; the college editions are better. For example, we substituted ‘demonstrate’ with ‘illustrate’. Buy a used copy. I found mine at a used book sale at the library. Try to buy a used copy for less than $10. BTW a thesaurus is an essential tool for grant writing.
