Reading Class: Esperanza Rising Vocabulary
Today we discovered that there are some challenging words in our literature circle book, Esperanza Rising along with some interesting characters -- imagine a grandmother who walks outdoors barefoot in a vineyard quoting poetry to birds!Here you can post challenging, new, or unusual words you find in the text (along with page number and dictionary definition) to help us all understand the story better. Make sure you read what others have posted to avoid duplicate entries.
This discussion is part of your literature circle participation grade, so make sure you use proper grammar and spelling. My suggestion is to jot down your ideas before you go to the computer to avoid any careless mistakes.
Requirement: Post as directed by your assignment sheet from January 6 - January 26.

Here is an example of how to post to this discussion using the words we found in the text today:
capricious (page 13) - impulsive and unpredictable
propriety (pg. 13) - correct or appropriate behavior
So, Esperanza really loves her grandmother for her impulsive and unpredictable ways!
Example #2:
word: congregate
page: 9
sentence: Papa and the men who lived on the ranch would congregate below her window, their rich, sweet voices signing Las Mananitas, the birthday song.
dictionary definition: To bring or come together in a group, crowd, or assembly
