Progress #2

After  3 weeks of gathering words for my presentation I have made a few changes. I have expanded my search from strictly the dictionary to various websites dedicated to the discovery of some of the more elaborate words. This new technique has led me to the discovery of some peculiar words such as bacchanalia, pulchritudinous, and one of my personal favorites, floccinaucinihilipilification. I feel as though this method of searching has provided me with more useful results and I will continue to go about things using the method.

Progress #1

After ten days of progress, I have come across some very interesting words. Some of the more extravagant examples include omphaloskepsis, williwaw, hibernaculum. So far, I have used a large dictionary as my only resource, however, I plan on using multiple resources such as online dictionaries and various other methods. My goal is to create an end product that will flawlessly enrich the vocabulary of everyone in the room. My final presentation will consist of the audience choosing words for me to read aloud using the jeopardy template that you provided for me.
