My most memorable conversations in class are the oral outbursts of my students. Some are funny, some are so logical, they're boring and others just make you wanna cry. Let's look at some examples:
(Oh and I teach in Maori so these are translations of what the student said)
Year 8 students studying NZ were reading about Captain James Cook, the great discoverer of our nation when one student suddenly blurted out, "Miss! His names not Captain James Cook. It's Loo..loo-ten-tant..."
Year 7: Is Masterton in the North Island?
Class discussion on how symbolism and what colours symbolise.
Year 9: I think this picture symbolises sadness because it has no colour. (the picture was photocopied in black and white)
