Once the first semester ended and my students left school, I was still there to desk warm and run some holiday programs. I ran a week long holiday program at another school located nearby. This was a good change as I got to teach both boys and girls instead of my usually all girl classes.
I choose to do a hollywood themed program which covered movies, singers and celebrities during the week. I had a problem with one of my students who wasn't exactly well behaved.
I was having the students write down their favourite celebrities. Favourite actor, singer, sports star, etc. I walked around and read the students answers. I got to this particular student but couldn't see what he had written down.
Me: So, who is your favourite sports star?
Students: Someone
Me: Someone? Who?
Student: Someone!
Me: Who? You need to write down their name. What is their name?
Student: Someone!!
Me: Write down that person's actual name!
Student: I did.
The student then pointed to the student next to him to indicate this was his favourite sports star. I looked down to read what this student's name was and it read "Shong Won".
All this time the kid was telling me that his favourite sport star was the guy sitting next to him....not someone! The student's name was Shong Won.
