Word of the Week - 12/6/2010

The word of the week this week is 


CAJOLE


Cajole means to convince or persuade with flattery or repeated appeals, to coax.

Some fourth graders picked this word because they thought they might try to cajole their teachers into not giving them homework.  

It might be interesting to think about times when students have used this technique....or have them try to cajole the class into believing something....what does acting like this look like?
