Students having direct and daily access to a dictionary and thesaurus will allow them to improve their writing. We work diligently during the year to hone our writing skills. It is important for the students to access dictionaries in order to find and correct words, as well as understand the meaning of words. Thesauruses will improve the vocabulary of my students by enriching simple words into "WOW" words. Creating the writing skills learned in my classroom will produce successful writers in all areas of their life. They will be able to apply the writing they learn with me into any core subject (I teach science also), high school, college, and career writing.
