Taking time to connect words to images was a good exercise. It was my second time doing this type of exercise. I found myself with a student that has a stronger vocabulary than myself. He pushed me to challenge me to look broader instead of too specific. A general word could describe a larger scope of information in regards to a baby such as chaotic, expensive. attainable. Instead of noisy playful peaceful, these words are too specific. He really helped me to see the benefit of using bigger words.

I feel vocabulary building is a consistent theme in my life something I need to improve to go to the next level. I find myself looking in the Thesaurus more something I was told to do over the years to gain a better word choice.

Character

Insignificant

Compulsive
