Post-27: Enterbull Instrudent

4/16/2013

      The correct answer:
      "I'm interviewing students about what they eat. Will you help me?"

      Answer from a student in JA class:
      "I'm enterbull instrudent about what they eat. Will you help me?"
[Comment: Enterbull Instrudent sounds like it really should be something real].

      The correct answer:
      "Anna, do you want to watch a ballroom dance competition tonight?"

      Answer from another student in JA class:
      "Anna, do you want to watch a balloon dance comefortation tonight?"
[Comment: Whatever a balloon dance is, I'm sure it has a very different ambiance than a ballroom dance].

      The correct answer:
      "He doesn't get frustrated when we make a mistake".

      Answer from a student in JA class:

     "He doesn't get freshedent when we made a mistake".
[Comment: If "Freshedent" is not the name of a chewing gum, it should be].

These mis-transcriptions all come from dictations JA students (lower-skill-level 6th graders) did as homework. I am having a "dictation contest" with the classes I have for listening, as I have done before.

It would be fun to make a story out of these mis-transcriptions:
"On the afternoon of the big balloon dance, I realized I urgently needed freshedent gum. Imagine going to a balloon dance with bad breath! I began to walk towards the store to get some. Unfortunately, to my dismay and shock, an enormous enterbull instrudent obstructed my path...."
