Tuesday Morning

My students are all coming into to class and are discussing at length with each other chapter 1 of Of Mice and Men.  They are very upset with how George talks to Lenny, but they can't decide how they feel about George....  Music to an English teacher's ears.  Class hasn't even started yet.  :)

Funny...

On a bizarre and light note.
A student turned in a descriptive phrase for Dean (to put on the character wall) last week.  (I took it down, for the sake of Dean's pride.)

"Chihuahua in a Rottweiler's body."

Who says this generation isn't poetic or creative?

I laughed for a good five minutes.  There might have even been a snort. 

Also, literally 20 girls wanted to use the descriptor "Hot" for either boy.  I allowed one "attractive" per each.  I was impressed by how much the boys did have to say and how shallow the girls were about the whole thing.  Who knew?
