For our first word of the week, period 4 selected celerity. Celerity means "rapidity of motion or action." Before we made our sentence, we enjoyed joking about "celery" and "celebrity" being our word of the week.
The sentence we created to demonstrate our understanding of this word was:
With his incredible celerity, Ussain Bolt broke the world record for the 100 meter dash.

Periods 1 & 7 Word of the Week: idiosyncrasy
Periods 1 and 7 both selected idiosyncrasy as our first word of the week. We looked up the definition in two different online dictionaries, and the definition found in period 7 was more concise, so I will use it here:
Idiosyncrasy: "1) an unusual way in which a particular person behaves or thinks, or 2) an unusual part or feature of something."
The sentences we created to demonstrate our understanding of the word are:
Period 1: Addiction to fame is an idiosyncrasy shared by many celebrities.
Period 7: Harry Potter's idiosyncrasy is that he can talk to snakes.
Idiosyncrasy: "1) an unusual way in which a particular person behaves or thinks, or 2) an unusual part or feature of something."
