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!
