  • Complete the handout for Serial, examining the denotation and connotation of the words. A reminder:
    • DENOTATION is the definition of a word as it's given in the dictionary. (Ex. the sun is, according to vocabulary.com, "

    • CONNOTATION is the way the word makes us feel--it's the emotional response/connection the word gives. (Ex. for many people, the idea of the sun brings cheerfulness and happiness--that's the emotional response/connection).
