I wrapped up the session by reinforcing that this activity can be used in the classroom setting. When the students write papers in other classes, they should replace overused words with more interesting synonyms.
Talk it up!

Short Synonym Lesson
This week, I've been teaching synonyms to my middle school students. Their favorite synonym activity has been Three Little Pigs Rewrite. I handed out a copy of the The Three Little Pigs and we read it as a group. I asked them if they noticed any overused words. They immediately pointed out "little" so we brainstormed synonyms we could use instead of little and then looked in the Thesaurus to find even more. We continued to brainstorm synonyms for other words in the story. The kids were cracking up as we read our new and improved story at the end of the session. It went something like this...."The
first tiny pig constructed his residence out of straw because it was simple. The
second diminutive pig assembled his dwelling out of sticks.This
was slightly more powerful than a straw abode. The third petite pig erected his quarters out
of bricks."

Love this idea! I have several variations of the Three Little Pigs & usually do a month long unit with the variations. This would be a nice addition!

Great idea! I've made finding synonyms in a story into a game with my students before, but I think this would be another great way...this gives them a story to look back on and remember how they used the synonyms.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
