Welcome to The Vocablog!

Welcome to American Literature! Mrs. Lowe's class is trying an experiment this year: we're taking our vocabulary lists from the texts we're reading in class. This blog will be a forum for us to share definitions and references with one another.

Here's all you need to know about posting on this site:

• Please use your alias at ALL TIMES.  This is for your protection.  Plus, it's fun to try to figure out who everyone is.  :)
• Under the "Posting" tab, select "New Post."  The title of the post should be the vocabulary word.  That's all -- just one word.  Whatever information you have about it goes in the post itself: context in which the word is used, your guess about the definition, links to the definition or other uses of the word.  In the "Labels" box, put the complete title of the book (in this case, "The Secret Life of Bees."
• Feel free to comment on others' posts, even (especially!) if you disagree with the author.  No non-class member is allowed to comment, though anyone can read the posts, so feel free to send them to all your closest friends.  You've probably already done this, right?

Happy Vocablogging!
