Homework for Sept. 11th:

Write the definitions and a sentence for each of the following words:

• Cower 
• Hidey-schools
• Frotched  (this one is hard to find -- it means "gathered material")
• Gaggle 
• Brimstone 
• Cracker 
• Extremity 
• Pitch
• Hand 
• Bramble 

Then write a grabber (a sentence that "grabs" your attention -- quote, interesting fact, question) and a thesis statement on slavery (should a slave escape or stay on the plantation).
