We began our work with vocabulary, studying the first five words of unit 1: acquisitive, arrogate, banal, belabor and carping.
We had a discussion on "The Village Watchman" wherein each of you had a proscribed role to play. See "Assessing Discussion" for those roles.
We spoke about the importance of having good questions to discuss.
