Every week I give a little skills quiz to see how my students are testing on topics for which they are mandated to demonstrate mastery.
This past week it was on conflict-- they had to list the four basic types (character v. self, character, society, or nature) and then identify what type of conflict was described in a brief scenario. To their credit, most students did quite well (for those data crunchers out there, the pass rate was 90% and the average was even higher), but there were some misperceptions that we'll need to go back and address.
For example, my favorite incorrect answer was in reply to this: You can't decide whether to have spaghetti or tacos for lunch.
One student called that man versus nature, and even as I marked it wrong I couldn't help thinking that man! Those must have been some tacos.
