I often share when my students make funny mistakes in English, or do things that make me laugh. Recently, however, we have been talking about rhetorical devices (like metaphors and similes) as well as descriptive writing. Some of my students have written things that I really like. I thought I would share a few.
"Drowsiness is such a quiet killer that murders our time"
(I really liked this one, probably because I've been sleepy lately and it makes it so hard for me to concentrate.)Life
"Life is the early bus,
We always keep missing.
Life is the traffic jam,
We never stop waiting."
"The little ship, even now seemed to be as fragile as a piece of glass, steadily floating on the tranquil horizon."
"His hair is twisted and as complicated as IB math higher level."
"I used to hide myself from everybody
Like a shadow cast on the ground
Always behind somebody."
"It's the day of autumn
Leaves are so tired that they fall to sleep on the ground."
"Looking at the lake under the sun shine,
You will find that,
It is glittering,
As if it was made of thousands of diamonds."
That's all for now. I think I might actually get all my correcting done today just in time to correct my big stack o' midterms I'll be getting tomorrow. Whoo...
