Grading

Today I had to grade a bunch of writing assessments for 9th and 10th graders. While a vast majority were fine, I had to pull a few gems to share with people. Here are three different responses to the prompt "If you won a trip to Hawaii and could only take one person, who would you take and why?" These are taken directly as typed:

1. I would more than likely take my signifigant other, I think Hawaii is a beautiful place and I would want to share that with her. On our last day we would go to Oahu and punch Dog the bounty hunter and punch his face in cause hes a douche. i just think it would be a very special time for the two of us.

2. Its very difficult to choose just one person. So I will construct a competition to where people will fight to the death for this golden ticket. The survivor will be the lucky winner. I go to Denver in a helicopter to drop the golden ticket in the middle of the city. About fifteen seconds after I drop it, i heard a tiny voice saying, "Hawaii here I come." All of a sudden, a wave of people go to the epicenter of that voice. There was screaming, fighting, and fires being started. Once I saw the fire, I told the piolet to go back to my house, pick up my mom, and drop us off at the airport. On the way to Hawaii, we saw Denver in smoke. I said to myself, "too bad they are fighting over a fake ticket, I feel guilt for even dropping it."

3. This is a tough decision. Who do I want to take with me to Hawaii? I can choose anyone on the planet, but I do not know who to choose. I think I know who to choose now that I've had time to think about it. And the winner is, William H. Bonny. You may know the story of his life if you've watched the movies Young Guns and Young Guns 2. Why did I chose Billy the Kid you ask? Well, I've always wanted to meet him and this may just be my only chance. Also, I chose him because I want to hear stories of what he's seen and done. He is my choice to go to Hawaii with me and reasons why.

4. i were to take one person on my free trip to Hawaii i would take Megan Fox. I would take Megan Fox because she is really hot, she's a celebrity, and i would like to spend time with her in Hawaii. We would sit on the beach for the day. We would go and do everything in Hawaii and have alot of fun. Clearly i think that this would be the best trip to Hawaii ever. Spending time with Megan fox in Hawaii

I also had to read some to the prompt "What is one piece of technology you couldn't live without?" Here are two gems.

1. I us it [her computer] to type my stories, which are a big hit on FanFiction, the site I post them on, I have thirteen thousand six hundred and seventy four hits at the moment. I also tend to us it to talk to friends that I've made around the world, or just massaging my best friend that lives about three miles away. At times I get really frustrated with my laptop and want to throw it out the window and into the street, but I just take a deep breath, knowing that if I do something like that I'll regret it later.

2. i could never live without a tv. if i could i would make a shrine around my flat-screen and worship it as a god; however i can't for that would be false enidolment and that would be breaking one ofthe 10 commandments and I'm Christian.

I'd like to pretend a teach because I make a difference but really I teach so I can get paragraphs like these. They make my day.
