Use at least 3 of the most recent words you were given and another 5 from any previous list this semester (check out the list on quizlet if you've forgotten or look over your list). Write a story or an essay where the words are used correctly in context and where it is evident that you understand the meaning of the word itself. Please do not cram all words in one sentence and do not include the definition of the word in the sentence. BTW, a list of words with their definitions does not count as a story. CAPITALIZE the letters of the vocabulary choice you've made.
Enjoy! Post your story under comments below. I recommend writing it out on paper or on a word document first before posting on the comments or else you risk losing all the work if there's a posting glitch. If you have a blog, you can write it on your blog and provide a link to your blog in the comments. I must be able to access that blog entry.

“But I give ODIOUS speeches” I CARPED in response to my Academic Decathlon coach's insistence on delivering an impromptu. “I get up there and just start wildly PONTIFICATING with no clear demonstration of ACUITY. Between my DICTION and my SYNTAX I sound like a four year old learning English as a second language!” I continued to LAMENT my incapacity to give a coherent speech until I noticed the positively LIVID look brewing on her face.
ReplyDeleteThe lady paced around BOORISHLY, trying to PONTIFICATE her point, but it came out as more of a CARPING type thing. “We have to stop the BOURGEOISIE PATRIARCHY from CHASTISING us lower class women!” she said, trying to convert everyone to marxist feminism.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly a bear woke up from its LANGUID, winter HIATUS and began to attack her. The bear’s fighting DECORUM was poor because it was not as LITHE and ADROIT as the lady so then it walked away because it didn’t think marxist feminists taste very good anyways and felt more like ordering pizza to share with his other bear friends. Then the bears had a pizza party and it was pretty dang cool.
The BOORISH film director didn't like how her movie was coming together. She found a few of the scenes to be TENUOUS. Her crew CARPED about her changing scenes that they all worked hard on making. But, it was BLATANTLY obvious that she wasn't going to change her mind about re-shooting the scenes. It only served to make her LIVID, but she ENSHROUDED her anger and decided to just continue on. After redoing the scenes, the crew seemed to be ALOOF, even after they had a HIATUS in the middle of the day.
ReplyDeleteBeing a senior in a health class with a PLETHORA of freshmen is extremely ODIOUS. Everyone has horrible DECORUM and are very immature. Mrs. McCormick has some balls teaching that class; she has to deal with the most annoying kids and I LAMENT for her. When the kids PONTIFICATE it is the most obnoxious thing ever. They say things that they think make them sound smart but they have no ACUITY at all. There's this one freshmen who sits behind me who's especially annoying; she CARPS about everything and thinks she's the best, when really she's just a BOORISH b***h.
ReplyDeleteThe band CARPED about wether or not they should go on a HIATUS. Their lead singer is going through a POIGNANT break up with her now ex-fiance. She has been sitting on her couch, LANGUID and not caring about her DECORUM. The once RESPLENDENT and talented girl is now a BOORISH wretch. She complains about how our society will forever be a PATRIARCHY and how it is up to her to CURTAIL the power of men. We pondered if we should ESPOUSE her by taking her on a HEDONISM to a yoga camp that will HONE her sence of self. Instead she gave us a SACCHARIN smile and told us through gritted teeth to "please get out of her house" with a LACKLUSTER tone. We all knew that she was LIVID, and broken and a person should never go through such an ODIOUS situation. She now DEBUNKS the term "love" and PONTIFICATES how ADROIT she will be with her fiance out of her life.
ReplyDeleteThe students DECORUM in class when they had a substitute was not good. Us students think that our normal teacher is more PONTIFICATE in this subject. We need to DEBUNK the thought that we can get away with things while our teacher is gone. CARPING about our teacher being away won’t bring her back. Talking about our teacher being gone is a very POIGNANT subject for our class. Our english class is very TEDIOUS when Mrs. Reyes is gone. All of the substitutes that we get are very TRITE. Mrs. Reyes please stop leaving, it makes our class very LIVID.

ReplyDeleteThe studens DECORUM was ODIOUS with no DICTION in there stories. They began to CARP about the difficult it was to use SYNTAX so they took a HIATUS from writing. A student began to PONTIFICATE the the PLETHORA of home work they have over break. Causing the teacher to become LIVID with the students. The teacher DEBUNKED there idea of having lots of home work by saying get it done this weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was finals week and American Law was the only class he had a B in. If he nailed his civil suit presentation, he was sure to pass the class with an A. All he had to do was give his speech in a PONTIFICATE manner. He sat through the routinely proceedings with perfect DECORUM, sure to impress the judge. When it was his turn to give his arguing statement he approached the judge with a MONTAGE of evidence. Then, he moved on to his argument in hopes to VINDICATE the defendant. After the trial was over, the judge gave direct feedback to the student. The judge sat there with a SACCHARINE smile on his face. He congratulated the student on trying, but told him that his arguments were TRITE and CARPLY. He was quick to DEBUNK every mitigating factor that the student had come up with. Fortunately, that was the point of the lesson and the student passed with an A.
ReplyDeleteFor one who had denounced his title to wealth, Jason mused with a sarcastic snort, he certainly did have a PLETHORA of OPULENT suits.
ReplyDeleteHaving CURTAILED the selection down to a rather unremarkable black suit and tie, he buttoned his shirts with the ADROIT flicking of his fingertips and smoothed the fabric down until no wrinkle was OVERT to the eye. Sunglasses, OPAQUE to anyone attempting to look in, were pushed up his nose-- ENSHROUDING his eyes.
Looking down at his watch, his pursed lips pushed downwards in a frown. T minus thirty... How was his BOORISH HEDONIST of a companion faring in the same task? It was a rare feat for the man to dress himself with any ACUITY, but surely for a task as important as this, he could find the proper DECORUM within him... One could only hope. He wouldn't find out until... 1735-- if he was punctual, for a change. --Bodine
Jimmy is moving and needs to look for a new school. His parents were very adroit in terms of choosing a school. Sensory acuity In the workplace, communication is a constant process. “Please obey the rules of proper decorum,” said the principal at one school they looked at. Some of the teachers were trite and aloof with some students. It was overt that most of the teachers were tedium. The kids were all so boorish. We decided to keep him home schooled.
ReplyDeleteWe have community service coming up and the students seems so excited. We are meeting an ACUITY professor from the other country. It is my first time to meet an international and professors in person. They are ADROIT kind of person. Some students said that they are good to PONTIFICATE. Some said that it is TEDIOUS. Before we go there our teachers tell us some DECORUM during the meeting. I am so excited and can't wait for tomorrow. During that time, I listened to their speeches and I found them good in speaking. They are good in DICTION and SYNTAX. I want to be like the someday and I wish our PROSPERITY will be influenced by them.
