I take attendance by having the students answer a question. Previously 2016, 2017, 2019.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?
Some students answered numerically:
- -2
- -1
- 1
- at least 1
- 2+1
- 3.141592
- pi
- 5
- 6
- 100g
- [illegible, but it looked like numbers?]
Some students answered with qualitative descriptions of the quantity of wood:
- not much (x2)
- not much, he's nashed
- some (x2)
- enough
- lots
- depends on the tree species
- as much as it could
- as much as it wants
- as much as a woodchuck could!
- as long as its hungry
Some students replied to my question with an answer designed to make me stop asking:
- no idea
- I don't know (x3)
- when a woodchuck chucks
- if a wood chuck could chuck wood (x2)
- chuck
The "most pragmatic" award goes to:
- depends if a woodchuck could chuck wood
The "most enigmatic award goes to:
- would?
This post's theme word is alible (adj), "nutritious; nourishing." Wood is not considered alible for most students in my class.
