Yesterday I asked my high school student about Christmas.
Me: Do you celebrate Christmas in your family?
Student: Yes
Me: What are your Christmas traditions?
Student: I play with my friends
Me: Oh...okay. Do you have a Christmas tree?
Student: No
Me: Do you exchange Christmas presents or have a special dinner on Christmas?
Student: No
Me: Oh. What religion are you?
Student: I don't know.
This is the part where I switch to another subject trying to get more responses. Usually in my high school classes, the only noises are the sound of my own voice and the ticking of the clock.
Also yesterday, I was talking with my grade 5 class about how food gives us energy and how some foods can give us energy in a very short amount of time. They were having trouble thinking of what types of foods these might be so I said "these are foods that kids REALLY love, but are usually not allowed to eat often." Several children shouted out: "Meat!"
