KIDSHEALTH ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)

There is no AOW this week.  

YOUR WORD OF THE WEEK (WOW)

What is Word of the Week (WOW)?  Word of the week is a word that I post on the WOW page on my website.  If you click on the word, it takes you to a definition of that word.  You will receive 4-6 words/quarter.  At the end of each quarter, you will use each of these words in a paragraph.  You WILL NOT use each word in a paragraph, but, only write ONE paragraph using all of the words.  This assignment is restricted to ONE paragraph only.  The goal is to not literally DEFINE the words, but, rather, use them in context in a paragraph in a creative story demonstrating to me that you know what the word means without telling me what the word means.  

You WILL NOT have a WOW paragraph assignment in the 2nd quarter.  My goal is to have you do it for the 3rd quarter.  I'll announce it if you do.
