October 15, 2015

Today students picked up the next text set for comparative analysis.  The texts consist of Annie Dillard's, Death of A Moth, Virgina Woolf's, Death of a Moth, and Loren Eiseley's, The Brown Wasps. You can probably find them on line.
So first, vocab study.  Find the word in the text.  Put a box around it.  Write out the definition.
Here are the words.  They were due at the end of the hour today. We'll be having a narrative quiz on this vocabulary on October 22.
