ABSTRACT
I love words. Fizzle. Juxtaposition. Hummus. Toasty. Brazen. I love learning a new word that fits a situation so perfectly that no further explanation is necessary-in the Northeast, we had Snowvember last year. I love to hate some words-selfie, Tweeps (your “peeps” on Twitter), and planking. How then, was it possible, for me to hate teaching vocabulary? Probably because I wasn’t looking at vocabulary as the study of words, but instead the list of words that we had to study.
