Assignment for English 10 Honors

For Wednesday (B Day) and Thursday (A Day), you need to come up with THREE PAIRS of words that mean basically the same thing. Only, one of the words must have a generally negative connotation and the other word must have a generally positive connotation (like our examples in class - don't worry about a neutral connotation, though).

Also, list TWO words that have a different connotation (negative or positive) for you because of events that have happened in your life. These would be words that bring an image into your mind that other people would probably never think of. Explain why they have that connotation in your life (in other words, tell me the story that gave that word that connotation).

Stop by or email (cdurham@alpine.k12.ut.us) if you have any questions or are confused.
