Like Oskar, the curious boy in Jonathan Safran Foer’s story, class members journey through other “stories that the mouth can’t tell” to find another sentence that uses a word found in novel. Individuals create their own vocabulary list, guess at the meaning, record the dictionary meaning, and create their own context-rich sentence. Finally they choose one word from their list and find it in another text. A great way to find and keep a new word.
