Huck Finn Vocab

Please note… As we are reading from multiple versions, you are on your own to find the page numbers. Students who find most or all of the page numbers can share them with the class for extra credit. Teaming up with someone to present the page numbers is fine. You may not be required to define all the words on paper but you will be responsible for knowing them all. Quizzes will contain a random assortment of words from each selection. Questions and answers will be based on what the word means or how it is used IN THE BOOK. Of course, unless otherwise instructed, you can use your vocab on the quizzes.
