Vocab Lesson 12 Word

 The word machination refers to an evil or dishonest plan or scheme. I first came across it when reading about villains in books or movies who were always plotting something harmful. Understanding this word helps me improve my writing because I can use it to describe when someone is planning something sneaky or bad, making my writing sound more intense and detailed. Instead of just saying someone has a plan I can use machination to show that their plan is underhanded or evil, which helps make the story more interesting and the character more villainous.

      Today in class we learned a useful brainstorming idea to make finding talking points for essays easier.

I learned a useful thing in class that I will make sure to utilize in the future.

Something I have too much of

I've applied to a few jobs but so far I haven't gotten a response. I could be doing my school work but I have a hard time focusing at home so I usually just sleep. Most of my free time is actually spent sleeping which is why I'm always up late at night.

None of my middle school friends know what happened to him but I hope he's doing well.
