daveyt Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 today they completed a lesson where in committees of 4-5, groups had to choose how they would spend their alloted money on the high school prom. i gave a powerpoint presentation on the terms and concepts. the last slide was animated to this effect: "what do you value? more $$$ on entertainment? more $$$ on decorations and food? $$$ for location?" ideas were shared... "don't forget class, if you choose to spend more on the latter, you might end up with entertainment choices like these (shows an elvis impersonator, then a bunch of singing hillbillies, then a bunch of old women in costume...OR" then you could feel that they sensed what was coming...they know me all to well... "if you spend less on food and decorations, perhaps you could afford some of THIS..." out of nowhere, a 6'x6' photo "zooms out" onto the projector screen and blasts it's way into the darkened classroom.....

Bastille Night Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Nice daveyt!! We had an English teacher that read song lyrics as poems, just to see if people would catch on. He read The Trees one day, and he was my favorite teacher from then on. He also did Sympathy for the Devil, but someone at the back of the class gave it away when they started going Hoo Hooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
