People of the Night

Reading a story about meeting new people on a train we started to talk about setting.

Me: What is the setting? Where did the story take place?
Student 1: The train!
Me: Would this be the same story if the setting was a yard? Would you meet a lot of new people in your yard?
Students: NO!
Me: Where else would this story make sense? Where would you go to meet a lot of new people?
Student 2: A nightclub.

True Story.

Al Gore Jr.

While doing a smart board lesson my computer desktop flashed up and I clicked on the Internet Explorer icon...

Student: Is that the real Internet?
Me: What other kind is there?
Student: I mean is that the real one?
Me: Yes! I'm confused though I didn't know there was a fake one.
Student: I mean some puters (computers) don't have the real Internet. Mine at home does though.
