This week, all of Ms. B's English classes voted to use lagniappe as our word of the week. A lagniappe is a small, gratuitous gift, or a small gift given to the customer by the merchant at the time of purchase. It's like a freebie. Here are the sentences we created to convey our understanding of what a lagniappe is:
1) Julie was feeling youthful, so she bought Lucky Charms just to get the lagniappe from the box.
2) Stephen goes to Game Stop to buy an Xbox and receives a lagniappe: a free Xbox game.
3) Bill was so excited when he found a chocolate horse in his hotel bathroom - a small lagniappe.
