Language exploration

Hello,

Today, Team Moana have been given a choice, to do an animal report or to do an activity with words. We have from today till Friday to get these activities. I chose to do the activity that involved words. So, what we had to do was ether make a slide or a drawing and name it "Language exploration-verb" or "Language exploration-adjective" depending on if your word is a verb or adjective. Then we had to make a new slide, on this new slide we would chose a word. We had to brainstorm some words around the word in the middle, it had to be colourful and had to have a readable but fun font. We could go to Thesaurus to help us (it is an online site that shows you better words for a plain word and it shows you the definitions for words you don't know). After all of the work on that slide there is one more slide to go, when you went looking in Thesaurus you would have found a word that you don't understand so we had to do one more slide and write down the word. We had to find the definition, find out how many syllables, show the vowels, show the consonants, write how it's said, find smaller words that mean the same and write a sentence that has the word in it.

I enjoyed looking for words on Thesaurus for "Run".
I didn't really like having to spell all of the words that went into this task.
The learning behind this task was to be able to better words for a simple plain one.
