Word of the Day Feature

We are now responsible for the word of the day on the announcement. Each week I will look for five volunteers to seek out a word from our reading. These words will then serve as the word of the day during the next week's announcements.

I'll have a form for you to record your word. For each word I'll need the following:

  1. The word.
  2. The definition of the word as it is used.
  3. The word in context as it appears in the work.
  4. The author and work.
  5. Your name.
Example
  1. Visionary
  2. definition: existing only in a vision or imagination
  3. "All looked colder and darker in that visionary hollow than in reality: and the strange little figure there gazing at me, with a white face and arms specking the gloom..."
  4. Charlotte Bronte, Jane Eyre
  5. Francis Peters
