  • The Controversy of Words.

    Students like controversy.
    But they rarely see the controversy in subjects that are required.
    I'm watching football right now; the math behind figuring out who plays who for the playoffs = very confusing & therefore, controversial.
    And it's easy to see how science is controversial...
    But what about English?
    ... Clinton's mishap could display it?
    ... Propaganda?
    ... Jokes? Double entendres?
    ... Signs?

    I also had an idea while driving yesterday = in the online quizzes, I should reinforce ideas/syllabi stuff through the quiz answer explanations?
