Definition: To set, fix or determine (a time or place for something such as a meeting, or the meeting itself) by authority or agreement.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “appointed,” it's quite a clever trick. The dictionary gives us a good start, you see – "To set, fix, or determine… by authority or agreement." Let’s break that down for clarity! Think of it like this: Imagine you need to meet your friends for pizza. You appoint a time – maybe Friday at seven? You're setting the date and deciding when it will be! It’s about having someone in charge, giving permission, or agreeing upon something specific. Here's another rhyme to help you remember: “Appointed means, with a formal decree, A time is set for you and me!” Authority is key - it’s not just any random thought. Someone needs to give the go-ahead. Agreement – everyone has to be in on it! Like when a team agrees on a game day. Can anyone think of other examples where we might use the word "appointed"? Don't be shy, let’s hear your ideas!

Definition: To sadden or displease (someone) by underperforming, or by not delivering something promised or hoped for.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “disappointed.” It’s a feeling that many of us know, I think. Let's break it down, nice and slow. The dictionary gives us a good start, you see – "To sadden or displease by underperforming, or by not delivering something promised or hoped for." Think about it like this: imagine you baked a cake, a beautiful treat! You pictured it perfectly, frosted just so, but when you take a bite…it’s a little flat and sad. You expected it to be wonderful, and it wasn't. That feeling of sadness because your expectation wasn't met? That’s disappointment. Or maybe someone promised you a special toy, you waited with glee, but when they gave it to you...it wasn’t what you wanted, you see! A little letdown, a quiet sigh – that’s disappointment too. It’s about the gap between what we wanted and what actually happened . It's not always a huge, dramatic thing, sometimes it's just a small feeling of sadness. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions? Let's talk about times you’ve felt disappointed – and how you handled those feelings!
