When was the last time you used a physical dictionary to look up a word? Perhaps you also took advantage of a thesaurus to explore synonyms and antonyms, to add variety to your writing or show off a bit.

If only thesaurus.com or other such tools were available back in the day, a few simple keystrokes might have improved my grades in language arts and English!

Here are some words I found for commotion and some alternatives for keeping our cool:

SYNONYMS Brouhaha Pandemonium Hubbub Bedlam Upheaval Insurrection
ANTONYMS Calm Harmony Peace Quietude Tranquility Stillness

EXERCISE:

How do you react and respond when you notice commotion in your world? How can you do a better job of keeping your cool while others are losing theirs?
