Student antics

I was commenting on the reports submitted by a group of students, saying how they copied and pasted one paragraph from this book, another paragraph from that website and then put them together as a report. In order to explain my point, I likened it to watching a movie which shows scene A and then suddenly jumps to scene B without any connection between the two scenes.

While I was making my 'movie analogy' point, a male student suddenly stood up, pretended that he was holding a machine gun and shooting away (scene A), then suddenly turned to his friend and started 'smooching and kissing him' (scene B).

Talking about making a clear point.... :p

So, did you punish them good? Give all of them zero lah! Or force them to betray one another... muah hah hah hah. Give them lots and lots of assignments and pop quizzes... or just ask them questions that they should know answer to if they did the report in front of the whole class... this is so fun!!! :P
