Sentence: After 85 years of a strong marriage, Anne-Marie, sitting at her husbands funeral, was remembering the life they shared, and the most memorable juncture she had with her husband; the day he asked her to marry him was, still, 85 years later, the greatest day of her life.

Mnemonic: Junction Juncture.

I chose this mnemonic because both words rhyme and juncture means an important moment in time and junction is a place or point of meeting, so junction juncture would be a place or point of meeting that is very important.

Word essence: since our word essence had to involve dessert, I decided to bring in brownies.

My word juncture will be expressed in this word essence in that when the students receive their brownies, it will be a juncture because a juncture is a crucial point in time, and I don’t know of one person on earth who does not like brownies. And knowing that they will be receiving, fresh, chocolate brownies, at no cost to them, will be a juncture because everyone loves brownies and getting to enjoy the flavor will be a very important moment in time.
