Homework:  We had time to do the below homework in class today, but use tonight if you need it.

1.  If you didn't do the vocabulary word on the google doc in class, find one difficult vocabulary word from our readings and email the definition to me.  I shut down the google doc because it was giving us too many logistical difficulties.
