Here you can post challenging, new, or unusual words you find in the text (along with page number, dictionary definition, and meaning in the story) to help us all understand the story better. Make sure you read what others have posted to avoid duplicate entries.These posts are part of your literature circle participation grade, so make sure you use proper grammar and spelling.

Example Post by Mrs. Perry:
word: brilliant
Sentence: A brilliant moonbeam was slanting through a gap in the curtains. (pg. 9)
Dictionary definition: extremely bright, vivid or radiant
So, this sentence helps me understand that the moonbeam was so bright and radiant that when it fell right on Sophie’s pillow it was impossible for her to sleep.
