We began our vocabulary unit for this week by defining the vocabulary words for the two short stories we will be reading this week. The words are: restive, piteously, detractor, forestalled, docile, instigate, scrutiny, depreciate, and covet.  These words can be found in the glossary of your literature book.

We took some notes on setting from p. 164-5 in the literature book.

Homework:

  • Define the vocabulary words
  • Read p. 164-5 in the literature book
