This week, periods 3 and 8 selected zugzwang as our word of the week. A zugzwang is a chess term meaning, "a situation in which the obligation to make a move in one's turn is a serious, often decisive, disadvantage." This means that a person has a forced choice to do something disadvantageous - a situation in which there is little chance of a positive outcome.
Students created sentences using the word, but there was a sub in the classroom, so the sentences were not recorded. If you wrote down your class' sentence, please feel free to post it in the comments below.
