Both period 4 and period 7 voted for motley to be our word of the week. Motley means "incongruously varied in appearance or character; disparate." Many students were concerned that the definition contained some large and unfamiliar words, so our classes also discussed the definition of incongruously, making a connection to geometry class (congruent and incongruent shapes).
The sentences that we came up with to demonstrate our understanding of motley are:
Period 4: GHS's student demographic is motley; we have scholars of every background, culture, race, religion, and age.
Period 7: The many colors of the leaves make the forest look motley in the fall.
