AF: Lindy West Vocab Words

I've been asked to post these here, so here you go:

From Lindy West:

1. pithy (1)
2. misconstrued (5)
3. gratuitous (9)
4. innocuous (9)
5. contrarian (9)
6. refrain (11)
7. gossamer (12)
8. timbre (28)

Remember, the second set of 8 words come from the additional readings, 9 articles in all. Total vocab words = 16, due on Thursday, December 10. Also December 10, vocab quiz and grammar quiz.

Due on Tuesday, December 8: Big chart, completed. Two rhetorical precis, in MLA format. Whitney Phillips wrote the essay I've assigned; you pick the second one.

You will receive the writing task on Monday. All ERWC units travel through an arc where you read, absorb, make notes, and then write. It's time. Next week is essay writing week.
