When is a word more than just a word? Scholars examine the significance of a word used by W.E.B. Du Bois in "Of Our Spiritual Strivings." Readers carry out a deep discussion of the use of the word problem in the text. After sharing ideas and organizing their thoughts, pupils complete a Quick Write assignment discussing how the word is used in the text.
