Period 6 Word of the Week: orator

This week, period 6 selected orator as our word of the week.  An orator is "a public speaker, especially one who is eloquent or skilled."

Students created a sentence to show our understanding of the word, but there was a sub in the room so the sentence was not officially recorded.  If you wrote down our class' sentence, please feel free to post it in the comments below.

Period 3 Word of the Week: anachronistic

This week, period 3 selected anachronistic as our word of the week.  Anachronistic "usually refers to something old-fashioned or antique, but it can also mean anything that blatantly clashes with the time in which it is seen."

Students wrote a sentence to show their understanding of the word, but the sub did not record the sentences.  If you copied down our class' sentence, please feel free to post it in the comments below.

Periods 2 & 8 Word of the Week: zugzwang

This week, periods 3 and 8 selected zugzwang as our word of the week.  A zugzwang is a chess term meaning, "a situation in which the obligation to make a move in one's turn is a serious, often decisive, disadvantage."  This means that a person has a forced choice to do something disadvantageous - a situation in which there is little chance of a positive outcome.
