Reread either Patrick Henry's speech or the excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense from your lesson, and pick out five words you think are difficult to understand. Look up these words in
a dictionary and a thesaurus, and then create a glossary for students who are reading the text.
Every entry in your glossary needs to include three parts. First, it needs a definition of the literal
meaning of the word as it is used in context - in other words, its denotation. This definition may
not simply be copied out of the dictionary, it must be written in your own words.
Second, it needs a one-sentence definition of the implied or intended meaning of the word - in
other words, the connotation. Point out how the context helps readers understand the feelings
the author intends to convey along with the word
