- Scintillate: emit flashes of light; sparkle
- Latin: scintilla "spark"
- Chesterton's idea makes my soul scintillate: "I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder." (Per MLA, you wouldn't have that comma after "thought" because a dependent clause follows, but the Brits sprinkle their sentences with greater liberality than we Americans do, and it does help distinguish the two ideas from one another, so we'll leave it under the "add commas when needed for clarity" rule.)
* Consider Prompt
- Open Prompts
- Apply to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
- Passage Prompts
- How would Dickens work? Look especially in the 2000s.
HW: Choose one open prompt for Sir Gawain OR create one on your own for the multiple choice Dickens passage you took for a practice quiz. Write them down in your journal on paper (so, you will come to class with one prompt on paper)
