Senior Red Class Vocabulary: Using Google News (due before class on Tuesday, Sept. 17)













Searching topics in Google for "news" will provide at an instant the most recent articles from reliable media resources. When you begin your research paper in the winter, using this search tool will be a MUST. 
For this homework assignment, I want you to work with the fourteen words below. Read each definition and the example sentence that follows. Then search Google News for each of these fourteen vocabulary words. Find an article that uses the word, and read the sentence or headline in which each word is found. Determine how (or if) the word is used correctly in the article. Then type (don't copy and paste) JUST the sentence or headline for each word into the comment box. e.g. 1. India asks all sides to abjure violence.

In addition, read JUST ONE entire article of the fourteen that you have found. Briefly summarize the MAIN POINT (in no more than two sentences) of that article AFTER the sentence or headline that you wrote for #14. e.g The Indian government asks that the warring political factions in Egypt try to get along by engaging in dialogue to restore order in that country.

Finally, be ready, if called upon, to talk briefly about your article in class on Tuesday. Be able to relate not just the main idea, but also some other specific ideas in the article. Of course, be able to relate how your vocab word was used.

1. Malik says his request to both sides was to abjure from raking up dirt.
2. But hiring only Catholic women would abrogate religious freedom.

1. Abjure: India urges Egypt factions to abjure violence, hold dialogue
2. Abrogate: The option open to the rest of the Sri Lankan nation is to abrogate the 13th Amendment, strengthened in the knowledge that it is also unacceptable to the TNA as stated in its Manifesto, and implement a proposal based on sharing the instruments by which the People’s undivided sovereignty is exercised, with devolution to appropriate peripheral units such as the District and to intermediate units and finally to grass roots levels.

Antipathy: Some James purists may bridle at the exclusion of a key character from the book and a few more "hopeful" changes but would could have been a White Oleander-style messy melodrama (or a Bob and Ted and Carol and Alice-esque partner swapping caper) is instead a riveting and compelling portrait of a disintegrating relationship and the small quiet observer caught in the middle soaking up all the anger and antipathy.
10. Approbation: As Michael Hirschorn writes, Timberlake seems to deserve our approbation for being smart, funny, self-aware and self-reinventing.

Summary: Jainism is an ancient Indian religion that follows strong nonviolent beliefs, including the avoidance of killing of animals; therefore having all of its believers be strict vegetarians. Nowadays, young, American-born Jains are trying to modernize their religion to fit the 21st century. Some are still using veganism, while others are trying to use social activism to spread the nonviolent philosophy.

Little did he know these southerners take their sports teams very seriously and so they taunted him down the beach cheering for their college sports team, which happened to have the same colors as Tennessee.

8. Anathema: But what made "Video Games" captivating to online audiences-dramatic production, allegorical lyrics and an alluringly melancholic vocal performance-was anathema to radio, which at the time was focused on the dance-pop anthems of Ke$ha and LMFAO.
• Although Lana Del Ray’s original version of her song “Summertime Sadness” was released almost two years ago, the recent remix is what placed her in the top 20 of the Billboard 200. The remix has boosted her popularity and fan support, which has been lacking among her previous songs.
