Period 4 Word of the Week: iconoclastic

Period 4 selected an excellent word as this week's champion: iconoclastic.  The word has two definitions:

1. attacking or ignoring cherished beliefs and long-held traditions as being based on error, superstition, or lack of creativity;

2. breaking or destroying images, especially those set up for religious veneration.

The sentence we wrote to demonstrate our understanding is:

"John blew up* Hallmark to send an iconoclastic message against Valentine's Day."

* Period 4 in no way advocates violence in the name of iconoclasm.
