Celina should use a thesaurus to find synonyms and alternate expressions for the repetitive words in her essay, helping her to vary her vocabulary and improve the overall flow of her writing. Mike would benefit from using a dictionary to ensure he understands the correct parts of speech for the vocabulary he wants to incorporate, enabling him to select words that fit grammatically in his sentences. Toni should consult a dictionary as well, but she should specifically focus on word definitions to ensure she chooses words that accurately convey her intended meanings, thus enhancing clarity in her writing.
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. (4 points).

Celina should use a thesaurus to find different words so she doesn't repeat the same ones over and over in her essay. Mike needs to look in a dictionary to make sure he understands the correct parts of speech for the fancy words he wants to use, so they fit properly in his sentences. Toni should also use a dictionary, but she needs to check the meanings of the words she's using to make sure they match what she really wants to say. This way, all three of them can make their essays better!
