When the lesson for the day has gone completely smoothly all day long until the last group of the last class does their part. We've been talking about context clues, so yesterday, I read the kids a story paragraph by paragraph and they had to use context clues to figure out what a nonsense word in the story meant. Today, they worked in groups to write their own very short "story" with a nonsense word, with the goal of providing enough context that the rest of the class could guess what they were talking about. They did great all day long. Even this group, I truly believe, had good intentions. But when you read it out loud...in a room full of 7th graders...chaos rules. See for yourself:
“Every day, people comment on my flooby. Sometime, they even touch my flooby. I don’t see how my flooby is so interesting. My mom says my flooby is one-of-a-kind . Guys date me because of my flooby. Then again, my flooby is really soft.”
Can you guess what flooby is? Interestingly enough, in the midst of the laughter of 20 seventh graders who could hardly contain themselves, the first person to guess, got it right.

Hilarious! My guess is hair.
That is hysterical! Can't wait to hear what it is.
So funny. It makes me miss teaching. My guess was butt. but that is just the first thing to come to mind.
