I gave my students an assignment to help them better understand the "elements of fiction." To better define "elements" (or parts), I began an activity where the class pretended it was my birthday. The students had to plan a party for me & they had to think about all of the different "elements" of the party: invitations, decorations, food, games, guest list, presents, Blue Bell icecream, etc. :)
A new student asked, "Ms. S, what kind of presents would you want for your birthday?" I simply replied, "I'm not sure. More Blue Bell at the party?"
Angelica, one of my newcomers last year who didn't speak English when she first arrived, softly said, "She wants a cat," then giggled as she sat there & waited for my reaction. ;)
I loved everything about that moment. My students know things about me. Important things, like, I hate cats. Well played, Angelica. Well played.
