Went over ten new vocabulary words today. Here's an example of a sentence I wrote to help my students figure out the meaning of the word pallid.
Whitey's skin is so pallid that you can see his veins.
Pallid (adjective) - Having an abnormally pale complexion.
Student's Response - Invisible?
Teacher's Response - If he's invisible how can you see his veins?
Okay, I'm a jerk, but they'll forever know the definition of pallid.
And that in a nutshell is why I still like teaching.
Signing off.
