Funny...

I told my students to give a recap of a text they read for homework. While reading it aloud, one student wrote "bullshit" in his answer. I told him not to use that word cuz it was a curse. But as a side note I explained to him and the class that most people use 'BS' cuz its not as vulgar as using the full word, but everyone understands it to mean the same thing. Moving on......

So the next activity involved Homonyms, you know words that sound the same but have different spelling like, write and right. So I split the kids into groups and as a quick competition, asked which group could come up with the most Homonyms. Now of course things got off to a slow start, but eventually the groups actually wrote some down. Much to my surprise, the kid that wrote bullshit before listed 'BS' and 'be ass' as Homonyms.....hahahahaha
