Welcome back to term 2 2013

WORD OF THE WEEK

This term we will have a word of the week each week.

This week the word of the week is frantically. This word was used in the book Toad Away, written by Paul Jennings. This is the sentence that used the word in the book, “He squeezed out from under Goliath and signalled frantically to Charm to come and help”.

The word frantically means to act in a manner that is hurried, stressed, chaotic, terrified or excited.

Your first  task for the week is to try and write the most descriptive sentence or paragraph that uses the word frantically. You will need to post that sentence as a comment under this post. Make sure you revise and proofread your sentence/paragraph before posting the comment. If you do not have access to the internet at home you can write your sentence/paragraph on a piece of paper and then write it as a comment on the blog at school.

Also think of a word for next weeks word of the week
