Choose your words wisely. Scholars examine word choice in an excerpt from The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Learners work in pairs and groups to discuss how the author's choice of words creates a deeper connection between the reader and the text. Readers then complete a Surfacing Issues Tool and respond to a quick write prompt.
