here is a sample conversation with an overachieving student:

elena: alinna, i've finished all my work. what can i do now?
alinna: you finished everything?
e: yes.
a: poster, covers, notecards?
e: yes.
a: double check the notecards?
e: yes.
a: i guess you can read.
e: yessssss!

what a nerd.

another sample conversation
jonathan: alinna, what don't you like to eat?
alinna: tuna fish. i hate it.
jonathan: alinna. don't hate. congratulate.

hahahahahahaha.

here is a sample skit that i had them do to practice vocab for the final:

chelsea: neo, you are so mean to elijah!
isaiah (as neo) starts to beat up robert (as elijah)
c: you always make such disparaging flippant comments.
i: uhhhhhh ... uhhhhh ... ugly ... rabbit.

HAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA. you had to be there.
