Check out a Turkey Thesaurus!

We used a thesaurus for the first time. Make sure you ask your child what the difference is between a dictionary and a thesaurus. Each student was given a simple, overused word such as "said" and he/she needed to find at least 7 other words with similar meaning. We looked up the word in alphabetical order in the thesaurus or used the computer and recorded our words on an index card. Next, we created a turkey to display our work. We wrote each word on a turkey feather and shared them with our class. This will help us with our writing in the future to choose "WOW" words
