HW: Finish the story if you did not in class and complete both sides of the note sheet as well. IR books are now due on Monday instead of tomorrow.

Wednesday 10/20
Period 1: In class today students met with their literature circles and further discussed the story "The Open Boat" and their assignments they completed last night based on this story. Your homework for tonight is to identify five words from the story you have not used before and think you might use. Once you have chosen the words you would like to add to your lexicon, a)write them on a sheet of loose leaf paper, b) indicate what page they were found on (and paragraph # on that page) c) give your best guess using the context provided at both part of speech and definition, d) use a dictionary to define the word (let the context of the story guide your choice of definition) e) after you have written out the definition and the part of speech—use the word in a sentence of your own that contains much context.
