April Fool's lesson

A 'lesson' to remember....April Fool's!

The idea began like this....A long time ago (when I was in grade 4 to be exact) I was given a 'fake' test. It was of course April Fool's Day and my teacher decided that she wanted to play a little joke on us. It was simple, the test consisted of easy to answer questions but of unusual nature. For example, one question read ' recite the alphabet outloud'(even backwards if you really want to have some fun) The more creative the better. There are two question however, that you must include. One at the beginning reading ' Read over the test first' and one at the end reading (at no surprise) 'disregard/ignore all the questions above' Be careful not to make the questions to outrageous though, or the students may become really suspicious. This test also has to be limited in time so that students will try to rush through it and skip over the first question. I suggest giving them 10-15 minutes maximum, but it really depends on the number of questions you include. Try to make it so that it would be impossible to complete that amount of questions in that amount of time. I say include a minimum of 50 questions. This test/joke will teach them three things: 1)the meaning of April Fool's Day, 2)always to follow directions and read carefully when writing a test and lastly, 3) not to mess with their teacher! :) I would suggest keeping a serious face when distributing the tests and even go as far as to assign a large portion of their grade to the test. This will really get them into panic mode and it may work better. Then all you need to do is sit back and enjoy. See how many silly things you can get them to do before someone catches on. If you happen to notice someone who has actually read the entire test, try to discretly give them the 'hush hush' signal so that they do not ruin all the fun. Well, I wish you luck and hope this works for you. After you reveal the truth, there is always lots to talk about. I hope to hear some feedback in terms of whether the test worked on your students or not and I would also like to hear your creative and brilliant question ideas. I've never tried this on adults but kids are good targets because they are so gullible and trusting. Yep, someone has to introduce them to the real world, so it might as well be me! No seriously, let me know what you think and enjoy! Carla Lee de Castro Canadian but teaching in Portugal. Carlalee@mail.telepac.pt

Put a Spot Over Here (Song)

Put a Spot over here
and a spot over there.
Put a spot in your ear
and a spot in your hair.
Put a lot of little spots in the air, everywhere!
It's a spotty kind of day.

Sport in Australia

Paraphrased from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sport in Australia plays a central role in many aspects of the local lifestyle. The climate is suited to playing sport year-round.

Many sports are played in Australia, with popularity varying between sports and between regions. The popularity of the various codes of football is one good example of this: although Australian rules football is the more popular spectator sport in Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia, and has the highest cumulative sport's attendances in Australia, rugby league football is more popular in Queensland and New South Wales.

When not playing sports, Australians are just as keen to spectate. Australians sports are amongst the highest attended. In fact, the top 5 television shows in 2005 were sports programs. Such is the Australian population's devotion towards sport that it is sometimes humorously described as "Australia's national religion".

My Island Home (lyrics)

Six years I've been in the city
And every night I dream of the sea
They say home is where you find it
Will this place ever satisfy me
For I come from the saltwater people
We always live by the sea
Now I'm down here living in the city
With my man and my family

My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me

In the evening the dry wind blows
From the hills and across the plain
I close my eyes and I'm standing
In a boat on the sea again
And I'm holding that long turtle spear
And I feel I'm close now
To where it must be
And my island home is waiting for me

For I come from the saltwater people
We always live by the sea
Now I'm down here living in the city
With my man and my family

And my island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me

My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home
My island home
My island home is waiting for me

My island home
My island home
My island home
My island home
My island home
My island home
