Tuesday, November 4

Election Day!

Mr. Potratz read aloud the "Guaranteed Effective All-Occasion Non-Slanderous Political Smear Speech" written by Bill Garvin and published in MAD Magazine #139, December, 1970. Students then used the dictionary to look up the meaning of words in the speech, and we shared information.

The four classes collectively chose the following twelve words to add to our vocab sheet:

hortatory
veracious
emulate
exacerbate
affinity
philately
perambulate
intercourse
homogeneity
piscatorial
unequivocal
scrupulous
