I swear my first grade class today was replaced by zombies. Really dumb zombies. They couldn't get a single question even when I gave them the answers. I was so frustrated I started throwing my slate pen. Fortunately its tethered so it didn't go very far. My lesson was on the Table of Contents and how to use it.
Here are a few examples of what happened today.....
Mrs. Honey: Boys and girls the table of contents is the page that shows all the CHAPTERS (I said this very loudly) in a book. So what does a book need in order to have a table of contents?
Student 1: Author
Mrs Honey: No
Student 2: Illustrator
Mrs Honey: No
After five more completely wrong answers I finally said: "Boys and girls Mrs. Honey just said a table of contents lists the chapters, so a book has to have Chapters to have a table of contents. So what does a book need in order to have a table of contents?"
Students: An AUTHOR!
I then gave them an example table of contents with three chapters.
Fish........Page 1
Frogs......Page 3
Bugs.......Page 6
Mrs. Honey: Okay boys and girls if I want to read about Bugs, which page do I need to turn to?
Student 1: Yes
Mrs Honey: This is not a yes or no question boys and girls.
Student 2: No!
Someone please stab me with my slate pen and put me out of my misery!
