This afternoon, I had a great idea for an April Fool’s Joke.
Many of our teachers and students use a book called “Ears and Mouth” for teaching basic phonics. My idea: Find an old cover, print up lots of pages of ears and mouths, and attach the cover to the printouts. Make it look like a genuine copy.
Then when the teacher says “Take out your ‘Ears and Mouth’”, she grabs her copy and opens it to find literally, lots of ears and mouths!
That would be kind of funny to an English Teacher in Taiwan!
