This week, all of Ms. B's English classes selected posthumously as the word of the week. Posthumous (and thus, posthumously, the adverb form of the word) means:
1) published after the death of the author,
2) born after the death of the father, or
3) occurring after death.
The sentences we created to show our understanding of the word were:
1) Whitney Houston was acting in Sparkle before she died; the movie was released posthumously.
2) John Harvill was posthumously venerated by Dr. Starr with a school named after him.
3) This Is It, the Michael Jackson movie, was released posthumously as a tribute to Jackson.
4) This Is It, the movie about Michael Jackson, was released posthumously.
