First Week Funnies

In English classes during the first week of school, I do a lot of evaluating to find out the level of English each kid already has.  It is so helpful to get a feel for what each student knows, but the added bonus is that it is always hilarious.  Here are a few examples of conversations I had this week:

Me:  What is your favorite book?
Student:  erm....Facebook!

Me:  What is your favorite book?
Student:  Hmmmm.  Well, right now I am having to read this really big book for class, so I don't have time to read any others.
Me:  What book?
Student:  That really huge one.
Me:  The Bible?
Student:  Yeah!  That's it!
Me:  You know you don't have to read the whole thing this week, right?
Student:  Really?

Me:  What is your favorite book?
Student:  What? 
Me:  Like, my favorite book is Harry Potter.
Student: Ooooo, okay.  The Bible, of course!
Me:  (hang head in shame)
