Precise Words

Students are given sentences with bolded words and are instructed to rewrite each sentence using a more precise synonym for that word. The activity encourages finding better alternatives for words like “laughed” or “said” to make sentences more expressive. It pushes students to consider the nuances of meaning between synonyms. This helps improve sentence clarity and detail in writing.

Replacing common words with specific alternatives enhances precision in language and writing clarity. This activity also builds critical thinking as students reflect on the most suitable words for a context. It strengthens vocabulary skills by expanding the range of expressions students can choose from. Such tasks improve grammar and comprehension by teaching students about subtle differences in word meaning.
