I have decided to add one more thing to my Writing publishing center, Big Huge Thesarus. This is a site that the students can use for new vocabulary words. It gives them synonyms and antonyms. The students can type in a word, and the thesaurus will give them a synonym or antonym, depending what it is they are asking for.
This site can be used a resource, as it is required by TEKS that students in 5th grade learn how to use resources like thesauruses and dictionaries. Students can add richness of vocabulary to their writing. Many of my students get stuck using the same words over and over. This will definitely help broaden their vocabulary horizons.
I will be integrating this resource on the week back from Thanksgiving break, and I really hope that my students take advantage of this great resource. I will have to train them well to ensure that they do.
