Update Oct. 23

Bellwrite: Learn the following words from our word well:

• limpid (25)
• unencumbered (26)
• tactual (27)
• dissimulation (28)

We spent a few minutes answering final questions on the Dillard questions.

We began reading our next essay for our unit on American Land: "Joyas Voladoras" by Brian Doyle. Doyle's bio (http://www.actapublications.com/authors/brian-doyle/) is as colorful as his essay(http://youmightfindyourself.com/post/37013444071/joyas-voladoras). As you read the essay, pay attention to HOW Doyle says as well as WHAT he says. Pay particular attention to his use of tropes.

Homework

• Finish reading and annotating Doyle's essay.
• Prepare for a vocabulary quiz on the word well.

We continued workshopping our essays on the Thomas Paine prompt. These essays are due Friday.
