Wednesday 22nd September Due: Friday 24th September 2010
In Literacy we have been finding synonyms to extend and improve our vocabulary. For homework you need to use a thesaurus to find at least 6 synonyms for the following words:
-
Scared
-
Excited
-
Tired
-
Big
-
Small
-
Angry
-
Worried
-
Mean
-
Hot
-
Cold
Please then sort your words into an order that shows their shades of meaning. The words should build up and end with the most extreme meaning of the word.
For example:
1. Happy
Glad - pleased - content - cheerful - joyful - delighted - thrilled - jubilant - ecstatic
Look carefuly at the example above and please set your work out neatly in your Literacy Homework books.
Optional Extension: Write a descriptive paragraph on a subject of your choice, trying to use as many of your fabulous new words. See if you can WOW your teacher with your fantastic vocabulary!!!!!
