To Hand-Gel or Not to Hand-Gel
My 5th period English class loves hand-gel. Not only because it is lunch time and we all want clean hands, but because hand gels apparently now come in very pleasant scents. I have decided to dedicate today’s blog to my 5th period class.
Currently, we are studying word derivatives and looking over vocabulary. So guys, find your vocabulary words in context in my passage about hand-gel: (Remember we talked about italics too)
My 5th period class starts off with a few minutes in the classroom, then lining up for lunch. As we leave, everyone grabs a dab of hand gel. We all want clean hands, not the antonym of clean, which is dirty. Thus far, we have found our hand-gel to be very effective in killing 99.9% of germs.
We have decided whoever came up with the concept of hand gel is an absolute genius! Yes, we understand that hand gel was derived from soap, but using the gel saves us a lot of time because we don’t have to wait in line to wash our hands.
Our brand of choice in the classroom happens to be Germ-X. Those people at Germ-X definitely know what they are doing and have specialized in making the perfect and ultimate hand-gel. Not only does it kill harmful germs and bacteria, but the gel also helps us retain the moisture in our hands. It’s a two-in-one package. The words hand-gel and clean are synonymous in this class!
Now, we aren’t so sure that the term Germ-X can be found in our book’s glossary, but we do know that the term Germ-X is well understood in Ms. Hyche’s 5th period English class!
This passage wasn’t written because I want you to learn more about hand-gel,but I want you all to realize how important it is to be able to read your vocabulary words in context, and understand their meaning. Hope this passage helped. Students, good luck on your spelling and definitions test! Make sure you study hard.
