Period 7 Word of the Week - abasement

Period seven chose a potentially punny word of the week: abasement.  Abasement is not the lowest floor of your house, but rather the act or fact of abasing or being abased: humiliation or degradation. We created a fictional character to abase.


Mary Jane couldn't bear the feeling of abasement when her crush, Bob, laughed at her prom-posal because he thought she was kidding.

Period 1 Word of the Week - effulgent

This week, first period selected effulgent as our word of the week.  A brilliant choice!  Effulgent means radiant, splendorous, or brilliant.  The sentence we wrote to demonstrate our understanding of effulgent is:

The scene before our eyes was truly effulgent; the radiantly pregnant woman made snow angels in the newly-fallen snow, which sparkled in the morning sun.

Period 8 Word of the Week - soporific

This week, period 8 selected soporific as our word of the week, possibly due to Ms. B's teaching style.  Something soporific tends to induce drowsiness or sleep.  Our sentence:


Math class had a soporific effect on the students, who all fell asleep within one minute of the bell ringing.
