Words of the Week—Concern

Hello,

     Here are your Words of the Week; the theme is levels of interest or "concern." Each word, regardless of part of speech (and they are all adjectives), indicates a level of concern or interest held by the subject about an object. They are, in alphabetical order, as follows.

Word (Origin)	Part of Speech	Definition
1. ambivalent (G)	adj.	having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas
2. attentive (OF)	adj.	paying close attention to something; polite or courteous
3. fascinated (L)	adj.	irresistibly drawn or attentive to something
4. indifferent (L)	adj.	having no particular interest or sympathy; neither good nor bad
5. interested (L)	adj.	showing curiosity, concern, or a desire to know more

Apply these to today's Make a List assignment, and study them, including spelling and part of speech, for the Thursday Think.

     I will stay after tomorrow to help any students with work who need it. If you are missing assignments or do not understand some material, stay for help. This is not, however, social time for you to waste with friends; I expect results. Let me know if you have questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. DeMaris
