So funny and so, so sad!

Okay, so I'm teaching the kids about hyperbole, and used as an example Auden's 'As I Walked Out One Evening.'
We looked at the line 'I'll love you until the ocean is folded and hung out to dry' etc, and then asked them to write their own examples of hyperbole to describe everlasting love.

Here is a brilliant example from a girl in my class:

"I'll love you until my dad pays child support,
Or until I get more credit for my phone."

Utterly brilliant.

Literal interpretations

'Miss! I thought you said we can't talk because it's exam conditions!'

'Yes.....'

'The question says to "Identify and discuss the effect of SWAT codes...." Who am I supposed to do that with?'

Leaving Africa

Student - Where are we supposed to sit?

Teacher - You could sit on the floor?

Student - I'm not sitting on the floor! I left Africa so I can sit in a chair!

A little truth for the masses

A gift

Excuses, excuses
