A Thesaurus Is Really Not A Dinosaur!

One of our goals was to learn about synonyms. The kids were divided into learning groups. Each group was assigned a word. The words included: pretty, mad, happy, sad and ugly. They used a Thesaurus to find synonyms to match their assigned words. Then they illustrated their word. They presented their masterpieces to the group to see if the class could guess their original word. They thought the Thesaurus' were a blast because they found some 'high school and even college' words for their graphs. Some of the kids were a little disappointed that the Thesaurus wasn't a dinosaur!
