On December 12, all of our classes selected prevaricate to be the word of the week. To prevaricate is to speak or act in an evasive way - to try to avoid telling the truth. Our classes wrote a variety of sentences to exemplify our understanding of the word:
1. Elizabeth Proctor prevaricated when Judge Danforth asked her if John was faithful to her.
2. Lynden prevaricated when his mom asked him how he was doing in English class; he said he just got A's on three math assignments.
3. When challenged by his teammates to make a slam dunk, Matt prevaricated and hit a layup.
