"Hi, Mrs. deGravelles. I have a couple of questions about homework last night. Are block fours' blog posts due tonight?"
"Yes, Katherine Ann. All blog posts are due by 11:59 PM on Monday nights."
"Okay, thanks. Also, my literacy narrative would not post to turnitin.com because my computer crashed in the middle of my submission. I printed out the final draft before it crashed. Will you accept this as full credit?"
"Sure, Katherine Ann; because you are my favorite student, I guess I could make an exception."
"Awesome! That is so sweet. You are pretty cool yourself. That's my last question for today I promise."
Two days later.
"Dr. D, I am really struggling on this one word, alacrity. I still don't know understand what it means."
"It is a noun and it means promptness in responding or eagerness. For example: At the end of the school year, the students ran out the doors with alacrity."
"Oh I understand now. Thanks. I think I am ready for my quiz. When are wordly wise vocabulary cards due for chapter three?"
"They are due September 16th."
"Okay, great!"
Hey Katherine Ann,
ReplyDeleteThis dialouge is very good and very real. I can totally imagine this because it is such an everyday conversation. Good job!
Katie
