ReplyDeleteThe topic is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe use of the term 'negro' for Snoop Dog is not appropriate since it is derogatory. You could get in huge trouble if you use this word in front of an African American. Oprah would not be happy
noted. sorry sir, i didnt notice that earlier. =)
ReplyDeletee-forum would be new and fresh to the students.im sure ur students will be interested!

ReplyDeleteshin,this is so cool!!!!I will definitely enjoy this lesson.where else do you get a chance to choose classmates of your dreams and be able to price them?I think this is a lesson plan to smile about.....cause I'm sure everyone secretly wish to be able to choose thier classmates, especially, during secondary school;)
ReplyDeleteI think that this is very interesting and certainly creative! Even though you have to be careful with your words, i still think that the students will have fun doing this activity.
