Recognise Synonyms

When we are writing, we can sometimes use words that have the same meaning as others. 

These are called synonyms. 

Synonyms can mean exactly the same thing, or have a slight difference, depending on the sentence. 

For example, we can describe a large tree or we can have an enormous tree. 

Large and enormous both mean very big, but depending on which one we choose, our reader has a different picture in their minds. 

In this activity, we will be looking at synonyms and how they create meaning in our work. 

If you are ready, let's get started with some questions.
