Today, when the lesson was on hyperbole, the fun challenge was to find your "superhero name" based on a silly list and your initials. I know my audience, though, and the activity was very entertaining for all of us. In fact, coupled with the warm-up question, What is the greatest thing in the world? (sleep, the weekend, food, love, friendship, yo mama?), it provided all sorts of inspiration for humorous hyperbole poems.
According to the list, my alter ego is Professor Marshmallow, an identity I embraced with a homemade nameplate and a modified Patrick-Stewart-as-Dr-X accent. And when a table of kids was a little too chatty?
Quoth Professor Marshmallow: "Don't make me go all hot chocolate on you!"
