  1. Great job guys! I think this is a really interesting idea that no one has ever done before. Most things we do are drawings or videos but this is so unique! I like how you guys took your time to find the synonyms and antonyms for each of the words, I think this gives me a better understanding on ALL of the words, not just some. Great Job!

  2. Wow job well done ... I like how you showed us the antonyms and synonyms instead of throwing the meaning of the words at us. This really helps me understand because I can see the common words I see daily and relate how they are opposite/same. It also helps because we sometimes do not truly understand the meaning of the definition that google gives us! :) Great job..must be tedious.

  8. Wow! This must have taken a long time to do! I like how you really described each word with the synonyms and antonyms. It was different, but teaches a little more about what each word really is.

  10. Wow, this must haven taken you guys a long time, but maybe you could've done something to "spark" it up a little, like maybe finding some pictures to go with the words, or making some of the words into a video. But otherwise, the synonyms and antonyms are all correct.
