Fahrenheit 451 Meltdown
January 5, 2010
Some of you may know that though I am the teacher’s aide, I am given the task of teaching Literature to our students. Before you get impressed (or like, barely impressed), know that it’s so haywire and backwards that it barely resembles a normal English class.
Currently, we are reading through Fahrenheit 451. The kids love it, which makes me love it.
But, as normal, moments of great learning correspond with equally as “great” moments of academic meltdown.
I handed out a vocabulary sheet today and we were reading the definitions out loud together. It was turning into a good discussion on the power of words… when it came to Gerald’s turn to read:
Me: “Alright Gerry, what does number five say?”
Gerald: “It says… ‘Carmello – A man who reads the Bible.’ Hahahahahaha!”
The rest of the class started laughing. I just rolled my eyes and thought, “Why.”
