I take attendance by having the students answer a question (previously 2016, 2017).
Quoth the raven:
- nevermore
- caw caw caw
- IDK
- ??
- [checkmark]
- I don't know any ravens
- no clue
- !
- what is that
- no
- shishkabob
- type type
- moo
- French poetry is better
- no clue
- What does the fox say?
- I don't know
- Nevermore, lest I shuffle off this mortal coil and land in a bowl of soup
I think that the "?" and "IDK" votes swept this time, maybe the reference isn't popular enough amongst The Youths Nowadays.
This post's theme word is nuciform (adj), "like a nut." There are many bird techniques for obtaining food from nuciform prisons.
