This week, all English classes chose obfuscate as our word of the week! To obfuscate is to render (or make) something obscure, unclear, or unintelligible. Students wrote some sentences to demonstrate our understanding of the word, and here they are:
1. Laniah made a clay pot, but its shape was obfuscated by her lack of skill, and her mom thought it was a plate.
2. It was pouring rain, and the road was obfuscated, so Gigi almost drove off the road.
3. Donald Trump wants more votes from Latinos, so he obfuscates his point of view on immigration.
4. Pinocchio obfuscated the truth when he lied to his father about wandering off with a stranger.

Periods 3 & 8 Word of the Week: unintelligible
Periods 3 and 8 selected unintelligible as our very first Word of the Week. Things that are unintelligible are impossible to understand. The classes wrote some very intelligible sentences to demonstrate their understanding of the word:
1) Bob's handwriting is unintelligible; it is sloppy cursive that looks like spaghetti.
2) Excited toddlers tend to be unintelligible, especially when they talk while eating.

Periods 2 & 6 Word of the Week: irascible
For our very first Word of the Week, periods 2 and 6 selected irascible. To be irascible is to have or show "a tendency to be easily angered." In other words, hotheads are irascible. The sentences we devised to show our understanding of the word are:
1. Mel Gibson is very irascible when he is intoxicated; he once cursed at his daughter!
2. When Dre looked at his girl, irascible Kanye beat him up.
