Every week we have a student who is the "Star of the Week." On Friday afternoons the 'star' gives a short presentation about themselves. Each student brings pictures and other meaningful items from home to share with the rest of the class. The rest of the class has a chance to ask questions after the presentation. The students usually ask the 'star' questions like "What is your favorite color?" and "Where is the coolest place you've ever been?" It's a good activity to help the class and me get to know each student better.
John was our "Star of the Week" this week. The students asked John all the typical questions and he had pretty typical responses. Except for these two:
Erica: "What is your favorite kind of pie?"
John: "Chicken pot pie."
This got a few chuckles from the kids. A few questions later and we got this.
Josh: "What's your favorite animal?"
John: "Hmmm. Probably a unicorn. Or a pony."
No laughs at that one. Just a lot of blank stares. And an awkward 20 seconds of silence before the next question.
