During Homecoming week, all three English classes selected miasma as our word of the week. The student who posted the word miasma read it in a book. When we looked it up, we discovered that a miasma is "a highly unpleasant or unhealthy smell or vapor." The sentences our classes created to demonstrate our understanding of the word are:
1) No one could enter the locker room without crying because of the miasma created by a skunk nesting in a pile of sweaty shinguards.
2) There was a catastrophic miasma in the locker room after football practice; the coach and trainers passed out due to the smell of wet, stinky gear.
3) After the pep rally in the gym the rank breath of the underclassmen left a miasma.
