English 10--Period 2

For homework, look at the class vocabulary list we created yesterday, choose four words, and for each word do the following:  find a different form of the word, write either the original or the new form of the word in a sentence, and find at least one related word (look for a word that has a similar root).  Here is the example that I gave the class:

Original word:
Misanthrope (noun):  a hater of mankind; one who avoids human society

Different form of the word:
Misanthropic (adjective)

Used in a sentence:
The misanthropic old man detested all his neighbours.

Related word(s):
Misogyny: hatred or contempt of the female sex
Misandry: hatred or contempt of the male sex

Here is the class vocabulary list: (noun=n; adjective=adj; adverb=adv; verb=v)

1. misanthrope (n)
2. melancholy (n)
3. prepossessing (adj)
4. patriotism (n)
5. taut (adj)
6. fervor (n)
7. rheumy (adj)
8. amenable (adj)
9. archaic (adj)
10. acquiescence (n)

In addition to this, please write down two truths and a lie about yourself that we can play in class at some point over the course of the semester.
