Rewriting Sentences

Worksheet Description

The “Thesaurus” worksheet is an inventive activity that combines visual prompts with vocabulary development. Students are instructed to write original sentences based on three distinct pictures, each depicting a different animal. After crafting their sentences, students are then challenged to revisit their wording and use a thesaurus to find and implement more precise words. This exercise is not only engaging but also educational, as it teaches students to enhance the clarity and richness of their language through careful word choice.

The worksheet is organized into three sections, each corresponding to one of the images: a cat, a girl, and a dog. For each image, there is space provided for the student to write the original sentence, followed by a space for the revised sentence with the more precise word underlined.

This structured approach allows students to directly compare their original sentences with the revisions, enabling them to see the impact of their vocabulary choices. The activity promotes the use of a thesaurus as a valuable tool for writing, encouraging students to think critically about their word selections to convey their ideas more effectively.
