Period 3 selected reticent as our word of the week. Reticent means "not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily." We created an imaginary student named Blake to demonstrate our understanding of the word:
Blake's reticent behavior was meant to disguise his true age - 21 - from his 14-year-old classmates.

Period 2 Word of the Week: lethargic
Since 2nd period is still sleepytime for most students, this week's word of the week makes perfect sense. Students selected lethargic for this week's study. Lethargic means "affected by lethargy, sluggish and apathetic."
The sentence we created to show our understanding of the word is:
Students in European History class tend to be lethargic because the teacher speaks in a monotone.

Periods 4 & 7 Word of the Week: censorious
Both period 4 and period 7 selected censorious as our word of the week this week. Censorious means "severely critical of others." Here are the sentences we devised to demonstrate our understanding of the word:
1) Perez Hilton is censorious of other celebrities; he is always criticizing their outfits.
2) The Grim Eater was censorious of every food he ate, except for the ratatouille, which he loved.
