WoW! This is almost the end!
This week I have been giving the speaking portion of our annual ELL test for my students.
It has been both fun and frustrating.
Here are some snippets of my day:
-If you could meet anybody in present or the past, who would want to meet?
-my uncle
-What would you ask him?
-how old is he
Right now I am pulling my hair (of course only the gray hairs)!! I feel like screaming and saying, ASK something else!!!
-If you could meet anybody in present or the past, who would want to meet?
-the first president of Pakistan
-Why do you want to meet him?
-because he did so much good for Pakistan, and many people liked him
So, now I am smiling again. I think I can do this!
-If you could meet anybody in present or the past, who would want to meet?
-Hitler
-Why do you want to meet him?
-to talk to him and ask if needs help
-was that appropriate to say that???
Again, I am thinking that he just wants to get a reaction from me. Well, he is not getting one today. I am going to ignore him and move on with the testing. Yes, I might have a few more gray hairs before this testing cycle is over, but it WILL be over before Spring Break!!!!! And then I get to relax and read something totally unrelated to school, and forget my students for a few days! Life is already starting to look brighter!
New WIDA/ACCESS test? We've been giving that and it's been so time consuming.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't know what I'd say if a kid gave that answer "if he could meet anybody in past or present" WOWSERS. He was really testing you.
