To teach the Thesaurus, I use the book "Pitch and Throw, Grasp and Know - What is a
Synonym?" by Brian Pl Cleary. After the story we discuss the synonyms, and I
explain how to use the thesaurus to the students. Since I usually teach this
lesson in November, I take the body of a turkey. Each student selects a word to
put in the body. Then, they use the thesaurus to find the synonyms and write them
on the tail feathers. Makes a great lesson and a good art project. Looks good on
the bulletin board too with the caption - "The Thesaurus Where Words of a feather
flock together." I don't know why you couldn't use a four leaf clover and do the
lesson for St. Patrick's Day.

Does anyone have a lesson idea for teaching 3rd graders to use a simple
children's thesaurus. or maybe a power point to share that explains how to use it.
maybe something about SYNONYMS?
thanks, Lisa
