This week, periods 2, 6, and 8 all selected flibbertigibbet as our word of the week. What a great word! A flibbertigibbet is "a frivolously flighty or excessively talkative person." Some examples of famous flibbertigibbets we generated are: Robin Williams, Kevin Hart, and Amy Schumer.
Here are our sentences:
1. Rosanna is a flibbertigibbet because she talks for hours about unnecessary topics.
2. Robin Williams played a flibbertigibbet in Flubber; he was always bouncing off the walls.
3. Kimberly is such a flibbertigibbet; she gets sent to the office for disrupting class every day.
A place where Ms. B's English 11 students can share and learn new words we encounter - any time.

All classes' word of the week - participation
This week, no one posted a word on the blog, so all classes learned the word participation. To participate is to partake in or be active in something. Here are our sentences:
1. Michelle and Christian participated in trick or treat, but they didn't get any candy because their costumes were disappointing.
2. In gym, you must participate in all the activities; otherwise, you get a bad grade.
3. The students' participation in football games makes them hyped.
4. Goblins stole the ball, so Astrid cannot participate in soccer today.

All classes' Word of the Week - abscond
Since they had no other options, all classes selected abscond as our word of the week this homecoming week. To abscond is to leave hurriedly or secretly to avoid detection. We had a lot of fun making up the following sentences using the word:
1) Ms. B's eighth period class absconded across the green top to go eat at Chipotle.
2) The boy stole the cell phone and absconded with it.
3) Janet looked so beautiful at homecoming; she absconded with Tyler's heart!
