  3. Activity 1.3 • Block 1: Look up words that we don’t know on http://www.merriam-webster.com/. After looking up our unknown words, we’ll place the words in the appropriate boxes on the left side of page 8. • All Blocks: Finish Page 9 • Find the 8 words that don’t fit in the categories on page 8. • Create a category for these words.

  4. HOMEWORK • COMPLETE THE BOTTOM PART OF PAGE 9: • ANALYZE THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE ONE OF THE TONE WORDS FROM PAGE 8 THAT YOU THINK BEST DESCRIBES THE TONE. HIGHLIGHT (OR UNDERLINE) THE PHRASES OR WORDS THAT SUGGEST THE TONE. • I WILL BE GRADING THIS! (MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS FOR HOMEWORK AND THAT YOU DO IT WELL.)
