So term two is wrapping up, with exams starting this week. This term most of my coursework in grade 8 focused on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The kids really impressed me with their enthusiasm for reading and their understanding of the plot. As a reward, I showed Jonny Depp's version of the movie on occassional Fridays. (It's the only version I had access to.)
So now, they're calling each other nincompoops, and they call the small kids (usually the ones who are actually 13-15 in grade 8 instead of 20-25...) oompa-loompas.
I feel like I should be more upset. Insults are "not allowed." But THEY UNDERSTOOD THE BOOK!!! So press on my lil nincompoops. At least you're no longer insulting each other in local languages (and they only use those when they know the other doesn't understand. Rude.)
