Celina should use a thesaurus to find different words to replace the ones she used too many times, helping her make her essay more interesting. Mike can use a dictionary to check the definitions of the words he wants to use and make sure he picks the right parts of speech. Toni would benefit from a dictionary as well to ensure the words she chooses match what she really wants to say, preventing misunderstandings.
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.
