questions
Today, our topic was research papers and how to write a bibliography...
- A question I asked in class today, with a variety of student responses:
Answers: 2 pages, 21oo pages, 5-10 pages, 50 pages, 4 pages.
Most of my students were certain they could thoroughly exhaust the topic in less than 20 pages. We have a long way to go.
- Questions asked of me in class today: Yep, we definitely have a long way to go.

This reminded me of my question of the week, which I received on Friday while watching Zepherelli's Romeo and Juliet:
"Mrs. Redd, have you ever sat in an electric chair?"
He was dead serious.
