The wisdom of seventh graders: Designing an elective course
The entire article is quite funny in some cases, but it also gives you a view of what seventh graders (at least in WA) really have on their minds:
( Examples )
Some sentences taken completely out of context:
*"In this class, students will learn how to vacation."
I want to sign up for this elective
*"Art is hard and easy but not both."
wao, any comments? :P
*"It would most likely shock the students that when you have a job you have to do just about everything by yourself."
Including waking up on time...
But the one that really cracks me up is this:
"Information. A combination of writing and public speaking. The student's recommendations for presentations? The second slide should contain ten bullet points. The third slide would be a five paragraph essay about the topic."
I'm sorry, I just can't stop laughing... ^^;;;;I've also seen a lot of ineffective presentations
