English 10 and 10H: Wordwright today, Vocabulary Test/Essay 4 tomorrow/Thursday.

English 10H
We are going to start The Glass Castle this week after all.  Upon finishing your Vocab Test/Essay, you will receive your copy of the book.   We have a pretty short turnaround on reading it, so you will get quite a bit of in-class time.  We will supplement with other memoir material as we go and after we complete it.  Check out this NY Times article from 2013 for some insight and background on the book and the Walls family.  The question posed on G-Class last week (What is the difference between knowledge and information?) will be an early and often discussed component of The Glass Castle, so make sure you are thinking about it and how it could become part of the conversation about the Walls family.
