This is the story of the Very Hungry Monster.
Hungry Monster’s name is Andy.
Andy is very hungry.
He can eat apples, bananas, and many kinds of food.
On Monday, he ate one piece of bread.
But he was still hungry.
On Tuesday, he ate two pieces of banana.
But he was still hungry.
On Wednesday, he ate three hot dogs.
But he was still hungry.
On Thursday, he ate four strawberries.
But he was still hungry.
On Friday, he ate five elephants.
But he was still hungry.
On Saturday, he ate six apples.
But he was very big.
He is big. His stomach bursts out!
This story was created by a student based upon the “Hungry Caterpillar” and illustrated with his own drawings and some help from the teacher. It highlights a lot of creativity on the student’s part, and originality in the way he handled the ending!

Thanks, students! It’s great!

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!
