Twinkling Synonym Poems

Twinkling Synonym Poems

We have been learning to use synonyms to improve our writing. Synonyms are words that have a similar meaning.

We started with the well-known children's poem, 

"Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

In case anyone has forgotten the original words, here they are:

Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

We used dictionaries, thesauruses and thesausus.com on the ipad to find synonyms.

Here are some of the excellent poems that students came up with:

Sparkle,sparkle tiny spark 
How I imagine what you are 
Higher up than the sphere 
So far up like clear glass in space
Sparkle,sparkle tiny spark
How I imagine what you are.
(Written by Scutty and Jacko)

 

GLISTEN, GLISTEN, TEENY STAR,

HOW I ADMIRE WHAT YOU OBTAIN,
ABOVE THE EARTH JUST SO UP-RAISED,

 LIKE A JEWEL, UP IN THE BLUE.

GLISTEN, GLISTEN, TEENY STAR,

HOW I ADMIRE WHAT YOU OBTAIN!
