This week, every class chose obsequious as the word of the week!
We looked up the definition of obsequious and discovered that it means:
"obedient, or attentive to an excessive or servile degree."
We discussed the characteristics of an obsequious person and decided that the classroom example of this adjective is the teacher's pet.
Here are the sentences we created to show our understanding of obsequiousness:
1. The obsequious butler happily served his arrogant employer.
2. The obsequious teacher's pet was constantly bringing brownies to her favorite teacher.
3. The obsequious servant annoyed the master because he wanted to help with everything.
4. The obsequious intern did everything he was told to do and constantly asked his boss for more tasks (in a high-pitched voice).
