On December 5, period 7 selected the word impute as our word of the week. The student who posted saw this word on the internet and thought that it relates well to The Crucible. Impute means to "represent something as being done, caused, or possessed by someone; to attribute." It is usually used to attribute bad or unpleasant things, but not always.
The sentence we devised to show our understanding of the word impute is:
Through investigation, the mass graves in Syria were imputed to ISIS.

Periods 1 & 4 Word of the Week: Entropy
On December 5, periods 1 and 4 selected entropy as our word of the week. Many students are familiar with this word from science classes, but none had studied any alternate definitions. When we looked it up, we discovered that entropy is a "lack of order or predictability; a gradual decline into disorder."
The sentences we constructed to show our understanding of the word are:
1) Teenagers' bedrooms decline from sparkling gems into entropy over the course of a week.
2) Timmy's bedroom was clean until his friends came over, and it degraded into entropy.
