This week periods 2 and 3 selected adumbrate as our word of the week. Adumbrate means:
1. to produce a faint image or resemblance - to outline or sketch;
2. to foreshadow or prefigure;
3. to darken or conceal partially, to overshadow.
We wrote some sentences to demonstrate our understanding of the word:
1. Jamie went to a fortune teller so she could adumbrate his future.
2. The girl adumbrated her blemishes with concealer.
