Wednesday September 9,2009

Today, we looked up new words for our vocabulary test next week, Day 6. 3 groups looked at the book ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ and the other 3 looked on the Internet for SAT words. We logged onto our Gaggle accounts and we copied the vocabulary down. The vocabulary we learned this week is as follows: Talisman- lucky charm Abrogate- to cancel/deny Abasement-humiliation, degradation Abstruse- difficult to understand Ineradicably- unable to destroy or remove Imploring- to beg someone desperately to do something Procrastinate- to put off Enigma- Puzzle Rumination- to think deeply about something Resonance- quality in a sound; deep and full Deferred- postpone Raunchiness- Earthly, vulgar, often sexually explicit We also looked at the rubric and compared it to Ms. Wolfe’s letter. That is all we did today.
