Vocabulary Enricher: Your job is to be on the lookout for a few especially important
words in today’s reading. If you find words that are puzzling or unfamiliar, mark them
while you are reading and then later jot down their definition, either from a dictionary or
from some other source. You may also run across familiar words that stand out
somehow in the reading – words that are repeated a lot, are used in an unusual way, or
provide a key to the meaning of the text. Mark these special words, and be ready to
point them out to the group. When your circle meets, help members find and discuss
these words.
