Periods 4 and 7 Word of the Week: banal

Oh, blah! Periods 4 and 7 selected banal as their word of the week.  How unoriginal!

Banal means something so lacking in originality as to be obvious and boring.

Here's what we wrote:

1. #YOLO is so banal; only freshmen still say it.
2. Sharkeisha remix videos are so banal; everyone in my eighth-period class has made one.

Period 2 Word of the Week: enigma

This week, period two solved a the mystery of an undefined word by selecting enigma as our word of the week.  An enigma is a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand.

After much debate, we wrote the following sentence:

The Illuminati are an enigma because we don't know who the members are or if they even exist.

Period 3 Word of the Week: gregarious

This week, Ms. B's third period class selected gregarious as our word of the week.  Gregarious means fond of company or sociable.  We wrote a sentence about Greg, our fictionally sociable friend:

My friend Greg is gregarious; he is always partying on Friday nights.
