Let's see now...

This lesson jumped about a bit. "Tomb", "mummy" and "kingdom" were in the homework assignment I reviewed in class. "Cattle", shrimp and eel were part of the textbook lesson. The part about "cow", "bull" and "cattle" was to clarify something in the textbook. Most ESL students aren't taught right away that female cattle are cows and male cattle are bulls. They're simply taught "cow". That caused a bit of consternation because in this particular lesson the textbook used "cattle". The question of "What is 'cattle'?" inevitably came up...

This is all too weird. A Christmas day blog post based on a photo taken on Dec 7th... >.<
