Celina, Mike, and Toni each have an essay returned by the teacher with a request for edits. Celina's essay is returned because she used the same words over and over again. Mike's is returned because he often used the wrong part of speech when he tried to use more interesting vocabulary. Toni's essay is returned because she used words with definitions that did not match her intended meaning.
In three to five sentences, explain which reference source each student should use to correct their essay, and why.
Celina should use a thesaurus to correct her essay. A thesaurus will provide her with synonyms for the words she repeated too often, allowing her to vary her vocabulary.
Mike should use a grammar and usage guide to correct his essay. This resource will help him understand the correct part of speech to use with the vocabulary words he wants to incorporate.
Toni should use a dictionary to correct her essay. A dictionary will provide her with accurate definitions for the words she used incorrectly, helping her to ensure she is using words that match her intended meaning.
