This is what happens when you joke around too much with your AP students while reading Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal:
 |
| A lovely satire about eating babies to reduce poverty (amongst other things). |
|
|
 |
| I may have opened a very serious, academic PowerPoint with this. They may have had to list their favorite ways to eat babies for extra credit (tacos? with pasta? kabob style?) | | | | | | |
 |
| And then I was brought pupusas that were "not a baby." You know, in case I was confused. |
 |
| A few weeks later I was brought a huge cupcake that was apparently made from poor Lil' Billy (ala Sweeney Todd). |
 |
| And then yesterday I was brought this and instructed to wear it on my lanyard for the rest of my career. |
I know that it's not always cool to admit this in some circles, but I kinda love most of my students. It's great to have classes that can have fun while still learning and behaving.
And I don't eat babies, for the record (hear that CPS?)
I remember reading A Modest Proposal in college. Great satire.
ReplyDeleteYour students are too funny! They sound like great kids!*
DeleteI love this post! Your students are awesome and it's nice when they get things like this. Even better that they were so thoughtful with the gifts. Love it.
ReplyDeletep.s you may not hold my baby.
I promise, I'll make sure to have a big meal so I'm not hungry first ;)
