Subject: Funny Experience Author: Rory [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:00:07 04/19/03 Sat Okay I am not going to name names or diagnosis's here but I have a funny story concerning one of the students I work with. It might also explain some of my jumping out of the "Interpreter's role." Anyways Bob (fake name) is a high school student - with additional needs beyond just having visual access. Bright kid though. Anyways we were reading a mystery story and I figured out the secret really fast and enjoyed teasing my team about it until she got it just before we started the second half of the story. So the two of us are know it alls (after the hundred clues I gave her) and since we know the goal we shoudl be doing an awesome job of interpreting. Haha. Anyways we think everything is fine until the end when they announced who the killer was and everything...he first didn't get the story...then we found out he couldn't keep the story seperated from the story within the story...then he thought it was stupid to have a make-believe story in a story...by the time we convinced him that it was okay to have that, we found out he couldn't keep the story within the story seperated from the real story...then the pictures in the book confused him more..... I think it took us half an hour to get to the point of the story being two stories. We spent more time describing how they figured out who the murderer was and I still don't think he got that when we left. Not only that but he had forgotten that there was a story within the story...I ended up drawing a diagram describing who killed who and how things related...and I can only hope that he understood that. All three of us were late for our next class -- I have to say that it was very interesting...not only that but whatever the teacher was talking about during the rest of the period we had to save for later... Okay - the story is not so fun when I edit it for leaking too much information but just imagine it like trying to find a definition for glad that says; see happy and when you turn to happy it says see glad...except that you have to find eight or nine words before you figure out that they cycle like that. It's a lot of fun. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
