Another special present from our friend, Professor Z.
Only three weeks left in the semester, then it's time to prepare for a new batch...and start all over again. In the meantime, enjoy these delightful tidbits!
1. Some choices that I made were to write is as the person was there with us and they were doing it to with us.
2. There were spots of dirt all over the walls that reminded me off a poke-a-dot wall in a child’s room.
3. She looked as pail as a ghost.
4. Of the friends, only one had talked, to which I named him jerkface.

Assignment: Write a persuasive essay about the media's influence on society.
Student response: (In an essay about television's influence on presidential elections)

"Instead of the casino you would be better off to put a bunch of money in a pot with your friends and pull a name out and whoever's name gets pulled out they win, at least then someone outside of your friends wouldn't get a large cut of the pot."
