Vocab 8 • acuity (N) • Though she was 85 years old, her mind had surprising acuity, which was probably helped by the fact that she did crossword puzzles and Sudoku every day. • convivial (adj) • I love the holidays because the atmosphere is so convivial; people eat, socialize, and enjoy their time together! • lackadaisical • The captain of the basketball team was enraged that his teammates were so lackadaisical, notwanting to do conditioning and showing up late to practice every day.
incensed (adj) • I was incensed when the freshman bumped into my lunch table and milk spilled all over my shirt; I almost started a fight right then and there! • feign (v) • Because Cady wanted to talk to Aaron Samuels, she feigned that she needed help in math class so that he would offer to tutor her (even though she was really good at math). • ambivalent (adj) • Many people have ambivalent feelings toward Malcolm X– they liked his cause in trying to raise up blacks, yet they weren’t sure if they liked his methodology to do this. • cognizant (adj) • Though he thought he knew a lot in high school and felt that he was pretty worldly, when he got to college, he became cognizant that he still had a lot more learning ahead of him.
impasse (N) • When Republicans and Democrats reached an impasse over the federal budget, our government shut down for 16 days while both parties tried to reach an agreement. • abhor (v) • Though she used to love ice cream and would eat it every day, she ate it too much and grew to abhor it as an adult, avoiding it at any cost. • hegemony (N) • The seniors enjoyed their full hegemony over the underclassmen, showing it by pushing the freshman into the lockers and always winning the school competitions.
Malcolm X Anticipation: • Determine whether you agree or disagree with each statement. Be prepared to discuss your thoughts. • If you agree, you will stand up after I read the statement. • If you disagree, you will put both your hands up in the air. • You will then all sit down and we will discuss your thoughts.
