vocab enricher

Hello folks

The funniest part of the literature circle was where I and my colleagues agreed for me to be Vocabulary enricher which is the job where you have to find as many words as possible that you do not know.

My words were:

Phooey: used to express disdain or disbelief

(Page 113 / paragraph 2)

Boy-scout: being a member of an organization of boys

(Page 115)

Exasperated: irritate intensely; infuriate

(Page 116 / paragraph 2)

Casualties: the relation of cause and effect
(Page 116)

Reluctant: unwilling; disinclined: a reluctant candidate, or struggling in opposition.

(Page 120)

Crummy: of little or no value; cheap;

(Page 126)

Untended: not cared for or attended to

Page 129)

Tossing to: agitate, disturb, or disquiet

Page 132)

Deadlock: a state in which progress is impossible, as in a dispute, produced by the counteraction of opposing forces;

(Page 133)

Loot: a collection of valued objects

(Page 134)

Crankcase:  is the housing for the crankshaft

(Page138)

Brine:

- Water saturated or strongly impregnated with salt.

- A salt and water solution for pickling.

- The sea or ocean.

- The water of the sea.

- Chemistry: any saline solution.

(Page 139)

Scum: a film or layer of foul or extraneous matter that forms on the surface of a liquid

(Page 139)

Oracle: a person who delivers authoritative, wise, or highly regarded and influential pronouncements; (especially in ancient Greece) an utterance, often ambiguous or obscure, given by a priest or priestess at a shrine as the response of a god to an inquiry.

(Page 146)

I chose this because my colleagues and I decided for me to be the vocabulary enricher and because I thought it would be fun to look at my colleagues and see how they are confused and also because I like to teach people about some things that I do know.
Thank you for reading my blog and hope you learned something.
