Word Smith: Your job is to find a minimum of 6 words that are new or interesting to you. You will then
complete the following: provide the quote and page # for where you found your word, determine the part of
speech (choose the part of speech –noun, verb, etc. – that is used in your passage), specify the origin of the
word, define the word, verify the connotation of the word, and provide a synonym and antonym for the word.
You will then lead a discussion within your group about why you and the others think the author chose to use
that particular word rather than another for that passage.
