Tropical Starbursts: Step It Up

Before taking that test on characterization, my students played a brief review game. The prize for the winning group was one Starburst™ each.


Me: "You will win Starbursts, which as we all know are delicious."

Alisha: "Regular or tropical?"

Me: "...regular."

The class groans, a few people shake their heads, and then the room becomes silent. Wanda Bierce, sitting in the front row, looks right at me.

"Step it UP, Mr. Vonn."

I'm a teacher in North Carolina, and I stumbled on your blog (doing a search on Pink Floyd lyrics) and got hooked reading it. Very entertaining! I want more! :)
