About this book
VOCABULARY
Since this story has many words which may be unfamiliar to students, consider having them work in groups to create theme glossaries. Possible themes might include words relating to revolutionary zeal such as ardent and seditious; words relating to behavior such as swinish and garrulous; or unusual nouns such as moppet and chaise. Encourage students to think of other ways to categorize the words. Each group should alphabetize and define its words to create a mini-glossary. Some words might be included in more than one glossary.
