Happy birthday Cam!
In a homework assignment I asked the students to write four sentences describing their feelings about initiation rites. One boy turned in the following: “I’m feeling well in my initiation rites. I’m feeling very well in my initiation rites. I’m feeling bad in my initiation rites. I’m feeling normally in my initiation rites.” Not exactly…but I felt like I had to give him a few points because he did do exactly what I had asked. And I feel partly to blame because last week we did a lesson on adverbs, which he seems to have pretty much down.
