One of my students missed class yesterday so he was informed that he had to catch up on the reading. I knew this was not going to happen but I always inform them of what they missed so they can catch up if they want to. Today we were reading and I notice he is not reading along with us.
This is how the conversation then went -
Me - "BLANK why are you not reading along and underlining words you do not know?"
BLANK - "Catie I have already read this chapter last night."
Me (know that this was not true) - "Well if you have read this chapter then why don't you fill us all in on what happens in the end..."
BLANK - "Oh yes... at the end of the chapter... there is... there is a FULL STOP!"
Everyone started laughing, including myself, while BLANK went to the end of the chapter to prove that there was a full stop. I was secretly hoping that it ended in another form of punctuation. An exclamation mark would have been nice!
