The Vocabulary


We study 3 new vocab words each week. We started with adamant, moved through belittle and cajole and now just wrapped up with vivacious, wrath and eXquisite. Instructed to incorporate some of our vocabulary words into their fiction stories, the 201'ers hopped right on it. At circle check out, they shared lines like:
"It was a morose day for Jaekwon."
and
"Armari was jovial when he got home and started playing Dragonball Z."
Woohoo. Their stories made me feel quite gregarious.

Re: the book. I just started it, so you're many pages ahead of me.
Did you see the big story in today's HT? The author will be here to speak and autograph.

Yes. Good article. I wondered if
I could have it read by that night.
we could have dinner before hand and then go over and give her our critiques.

KC...We know you can't fly down (because of the child in utero), but we'll take pix.
