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.

Celina should use a thesaurus as a reference source to correct her essay. A thesaurus will provide her with synonyms for the words she has used repeatedly, allowing her to vary her vocabulary and eliminate repetition.
Mike should use a grammar reference source to correct his essay. By consulting a grammar resource, he can learn about the correct usage and part of speech for the words he has used incorrectly. This will help him use more interesting vocabulary accurately.
Toni should use a dictionary as a reference source to correct her essay. A dictionary will provide her with the accurate definition of the words she has used incorrectly, allowing her to replace them with words that match her intended meaning.
