BIG I’m talking big! I’m talking huge! I’m talking enormous, immense, Tremendous! I’m talking hulking, towering, Titanic, mountainous! I’m talking maximum, massive, Stupendous, gigantic, monumental!

I’m talking fantastic, fabulous, Incredible, unbelievable, mammoth, Vast! I’m talking astronomical, mighty, Monstrous, universal, colossal, Magnificent, galactical! I’m talking BIG! ----Colin McNaughton

WHAT DO ALL THESE WORDS HAVE IN COMMON? THEY’RE ALL ADJECTIVES!

SYNONYMS WORDS THAT HAVE NEARLY THE SAME MEANINGS.

WHAT MAKES A POEM A POEM? PROSE---ALL WRITING THAT IS NOT POETRY ALLITERATION----START WITH THE SAME SOUND “towering” and “titanic” HALF-RHYMES----like “immense” and “tremendous” MUSICALITY---ONE OF THE QUALITIES THAT MAKES IT A POEM.

WHAT KIND OF PUNCTUATION IS USED IN THE POEM? HOW SHOULD THE POEM BE READ?

CHOOSE A WORD THAT IS AN ADJECTIVE.---A WORD THAT DESCRIBES A PERSON OR AN OBJECT. NEXT,WRITE DOWN AS MANY SYNONYMS AS YOU CAN FOR THIS WORD. YOU MAY NOT USE ANY WORDS FROM THE POEM. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE A DICTIONARY OR THESAURUS.

WRITE YOUR OWN SUPER-DUPER SYNONYM POEM. USE AS MANY OF YOUR WORDS FROM THE LIST AS POSSIBLE..

THE WORD YOU CHOSE,YOUR ADJECTIVE, WILL BE THE TITLE OF YOUR POEM. NOW CONCENTRATE ON THOSE SYNONYMS!
