Word Collection HW #1

 

Smothered (from Ode to Salt by):According to the New Oxford English Dictionary, Smothered means to cover or contain.  I chose it for two reasons.  First of all, It has many words in it, like red, the, other, moth, there, here and mother.  I'm sure that I could find others.  Also, It's fun to say.  It's a word that rolls off your tongue. 

 

Word Collection HW #2

 

Souffle: The dictionary defines souffle as "A light, spongy baked dish made typically by adding flavored egg yolks to stiffly beaten egg whites."  I chose this word because, first of all,the word makes you get an image of a light, soft, creamy dessert, even though that probably isn't what a souffle is. Also, It's fun to say. 

 

Word Collection HW #3

 

Bangle(s):  "I want my bangles back". The dictionary defines bangle as a rigid anklet or bracelet.  I chose this word because it is really fun to say.

 

Word Collection HW #4

 

Summit: The dictionary defines summit as "The highest point of a hill or mountain.  I have no idea why i chose this word, but,, for some reason, when I looked up mountain in the thesaurus, summit was the word that stood out
