so i've been doing an advanced group of 3 6th grade boys for the past 2 weeks. they wanted to practice writing so i picked a short NYTimes article on venezuelan naming law changes, pick out the vocab i think they will have trouble with/would be interested to know and spend 30 minutes thinking up the BEST most accurate definitions i can, then think up 3 amazing essay questions and email this to the boys.
the next day in class: (all in KOREAN)
dennis: hey did you read the article?
bill: no, i just read the questions and answered #3
dennis: [puts his hand up for a high five] me, too!
bill: [returns high five] it was easy
me: I UNDERSTAND KOREAN!!!!
boys: surprised look of "oh yea, oops" followed by unapologetic laughter
i was so incredulous at these boys! especially bc they KNEW i spoke korean and we had conversed in korean previously. lol, i guess they jus randomly forgot bc they were in english class.
