You all probably know what those are, but might not remember the terms or never learned them. I might have learned the terms, but they didn't stick until college and I was learning how to teach them.
Quick review: Antonym: A pair of words that describe opposite things, such as hot and cold or up and down. Synonym: Different words that mean the same thing (all of which can be found in a Thesaurus), such as cold, frigid, freezing, icy...
Well, my students got the concept for the most part, although mix up which is which now and then, but the cutest part is that one or two of them can't say synonym. Then end up saying 'cinnamon.' My heart is warmed and I can't help but smile every time I hear it.
