Today's classwork:
Choose a brief passage from The Grapes of Wrath. It can be a short paragraph or part of a longer paragraph. Copy the passage into your notebook, and then use a dictionary to look up every word. (You don’t need to look up articles, prepositions, and the like) Look at all the definitions of each word, how its meaning changes in different contexts, and its origins. What does this new knowledge illuminate about the text? Does it an another level (or levels) of meaning?
