Another week - another dollar.
Mondays are always a somewhat boring day. I hand out the vocabulary lists for the week, go over the words and look at the tests from the previous week. Teachingwise, it's so exciting for me - I'm forced to find interest where I can find it.
For example, while grading last weeks vocabulary tests, I discovered that one student wrote that Figurative language was the language spoken by action figures when everyone is asleep. I'm still trying to figure out if the student was attempting to be funny or just doesn't speak enough english to really understand the multiple choice questions.
The best part is where the students have to come up with their own sentences..
The panflit uses alliteration to present new information. (visions of flying toasters?)
I don't know what alliteration means. (then you shouldn't have used it in this section...)
My family travels a lot cause we like to encompass. (??? Where to start?)
The atomic bomb ensued many deaths. (ok, how do I explain this one? You have to include the time frame to use the word? The result has to come before the preceding event in a sentence? Crap!)
I am glade the slaves were emancipated. (thank goodness for Johnson&Johnson air freshner, who knows where our society would be without them...)
No wonder my father is still questioning my decision to become a teacher.
