Today one of my classes ended with my group of kids having created the following text as per bWT. We were working from a prompt of three couples dancing at a party:
There were three girls and four boys at a party. The guitar player, whose name was Zach, was Muslim. One couple was Johnny and Leslie. They were the couple kissing in the middle of the picture. Leslie hit Johnny because he was dancing badly.
I just forgot about being in class for while, watching this unfold. It was interesting to see how the class saw the picture and I could tell they had a lot of energy to take it a lot further. I have rarely ended class with a feeling of not wantiing it to end. CI does that I guess. Kind of weird. Teaching is supposed to be about struggle, right? But they’re paying me for having fun, is that right? Hmmm.
