We began today going over the AOW that I handed back today. We looked specifically at the following words:

• concede
• redolent
• fraught
• exclave
• utopic

In addition, we went over a little geography to show how such background knowledge could have helped students figure out “exclave.”

Knowing where Lithuania and Poland are would have certainly helped with “exclave.”

Finally, we went over clauses a bit more, working on a couple more sentences:
