Check the papers. Hold the answer key. Gwain, announce the score letter, I mean, LATER!
"Number one...A, as in Alpha." You'd think I had gone this way? Pop, naaaaaaah. One breathed "Apple!" And I thought, very inane. I didn't dampen the vibrant vibes of her. But I knew she had dampened spirits.
Phonetic Alphabet Table is very important during "multiple choice" moments. Students are not all at the front row, right? The rear-row kids are straining their ears for clarity, exactitude, and system. So I used the funny system in terms of "A, as in..."
The students followed suit. From restaurant's name: Andok's, Aling Nena, Botoy's, (The) Barn, Chooks to Go, and "what is D?" I settled for DD Toys (not a restaurant, of course!) to street's name/barangay's name: Aluba, Balulang, Cugman, and Dolores Street!
So the flow of the class goes like.
"OK, for number 34, it is B, as in Botoy's."
"Number 35's answer is D, as in DD Toys!"
Then the class became advanced: A, as in Adobo...B, as in Bulalo...C, as in Calamares (mine was kinda fancy---which is---CHICKEN CORDON BLEU!)...D, as in Danggit (someone shouted 'Dog food!')
Their minds were pregnant with codes and phonetic letters.
Laughter wafted into the humid air of February. I closed my session with a prayer, wishing that the codes--some were naughty--would be connected fully to the answers and the review!
