Choose a word from Vocabulary Lesson 12. In at least one paragraph, define the word in your own words and explain where you encountered it. Describe how understanding this word helps improve your communication or writing skills.

Malleable means to be easily changed or shaped. I encounter this word a lot in Science, specifically when talking about elements and metals like Gold, Aluminum, Iron, etc. It can also be used in the context of someone who can be easily swayed or convinced. Every time I see the word, I think of Play-Doh, as it's very malleable and lets you make things with it. Knowing what the word means helps me better communication and write because it's a useful word whether you are describing something physical or the way someone can be swayed either emotionally or mentally. Today, we learned Chapter Twelve Vocabulary. It was 15 words all starting with M. We used them all in a sentence to show our understandings and then later answered the questions to Exercise 3 and 4. I liked this lesson because it was easy and it also gave me more words to choose from when writing or speaking. Today, I feel good. I have a very busy week, meaning I will be out of the house everyday. Today is Jazz Band, so it's a relatively light day.
