This week we read and wrote stories using three of the words:  Boot, Direct, Theory, and Home. The challenge was to write stories about hatred.

We read "Diplomacy" from the short story collection Kwaidan, by Lafcadio Hearn.

Next week write a story with three of the wordsWinner, Duck, Comment, Laser. The challenge next is to write a story about competition.
