Today I had to teach my Tuesday classes
extra lessons in one of those "working the weekend because they
gave us a day off in the week" situations. As it was just one
day's classes I pulled out an off-the-shelf lesson. It's an old
standard the main activity of which is for groups of students to list
ten items they would take if stranded on a desert island. I've had
some weird answers in the past but few as weird as one of the groups
in my strong class. I don't know what they expected to find on the
island but their list included TNT, C4, AK-47s, RK-62s and,
bizarrely, a Gatling gun. An impressive knowledge of military
hardware, historical and modern, but perhaps not the answer I was looking for.
