Today, we discussed what is meant by positive and negative connotation and denotation. We then created some examples of positive and negative denotations. If you were not here, this sheet is in your portfolio. Connotations are important to understand as they tie to tone: an incorrect word choice can offend your reader.
I then gave to the reading "Political Correctness Laughed off Stage" to read actively (see steps posted in earlier Blogs and your notes). If you were not here, this is in your portfolio. I expect it to be completed for tomorrow's class (for discussion).
