Six Word Story
prove how the example given fits
[QUOTE=owenwarland]I noticed this with some of them also, trypd, but you have to allow for variances in the formula, and for people to learn through trial and error as they explore a burgeoning form.
And now I'm not even sure if these 2 qualify:
"Fear led him to the truth."
"The truth lead him to fear."[/QUOTE]
Thank the teacher on academic Sundays.
[QUOTE=trypdwyre]indeed, but you of all people (eh teach?) should know that trial and error might be a great way to learn, but if you've got someone to help you understand what you're doing wrong and right, you'll pick it up faster and you'll have more understanding. variances on the formula are negligent, simple rules are "Tell a story using only 6 words" key words being "story" and "6 words".

Of course I understand this as a teacher, but I also know that when I get kids in September it may take them several months and a number of attempts before they can write a good essay. Not something they'll learn in a day or 2. And you still didn't tell me whether my examples were good or not. :confused:
Ruining threads was recreational, if pointless.

Does it bother anyone else how Owenwarland tries to point out his oh-so-holy profession on every possible occasion? I mean it's like "What's did you eat for breakfast?" "Well, being a teacher, I ate a donnot." In every second post he seems to hint at the fact that he is, in fact, a high school teacher. Maybe I'm just hyper sensitive, and I really don't want to passively-aggesively attack, because it's not a big deal, but I was just wondering.

Dude, I only brought up my profession because it's relevant to [B]this thread,[/B] which deals with writing and language, at which I'm an expert. Get over yourself, and if you don't like what I say, put me on Ignore.

No, it's not only on this thread. It's everywhere. Your title is "Teach, Prof, the O-dawg"; your location: "High School, Professor's RM 308"; your signature is also about teaching and learning. And being an 'expert' in language, you once declared in an etymology thread that the combining form "anthropo-" means "society", which every 6th grader knows it doesn't. And no I can't put you on ignore because you're a mod.
Actually, I asked others of their opinion to see if I'm just too sensitive or if it's a common feeling.

Yeah, you're way too sensitive. I'm allowed to express who I am in my title, location and signature. In fact, that's supposed to be the purpose they serve. I'm sorry you can't put me on Ignore, but you can certainly use your mouse to scroll down past everything I write, as I can assure you none of it involves or is directly aimed at you. As for the etymology thing, I made a [B]human error,[/B] and confused an etymology I have known for a long time. So I'm sorry I'm human. And I know plenty of students in 12th grade who don't know what "anthropo-" stands for.
If you're insulted that I'm not just another blob of goo without a personality and things that distinguish me from the other blobs of goo, I'm sorry, but that's your problem. I don't understand why anyone has a problem with my profession, or my referring to it.
Oh, and this thread certainly allows me to call upon my profession.
[QUOTE=owenwarland]Yeah, you're way too sensitive.[/QUOTE]
Again, I didn't ask for your opinion but for those of others.
[QUOTE] I'm allowed to express who I am in my title, location and signature. In fact, that's supposed to be the purpose they serve.[/QUOTE]
I know this. I just noticed that the main thing that you seem to identify yourself with is your profession. In fact, that's great because nothing is better than a truly devoted teacher, but I just found it sort of amusing. So, again, I asked to find out if there were other who shared this impression of mine.
[QUOTE]I'm sorry you can't put me on Ignore, but you can certainly use your mouse to scroll down past everything I write, as I can assure you none of it involves or is directly aimed at you.[/QUOTE]
Of course it's not aimed at me. Just like my first post here wasn't [I]aimed[/I] at you, but rather just [I]involved[/I] you. It's not like I'm offended by your posts.
[QUOTE]As for the etymology thing, I made a [B]human error,[/B] and confused an etymology I have known for a long time. So I'm sorry I'm human.[/QUOTE]
I just mentioned that as a response to you self-definition as expert. Sure you are an expert, you have a degree in English or education or whatever, but your constant pointing at it is what seemed silly to me in the first place. Like, that's the one and only best thing about you.
[QUOTE]And I know plenty of students in 12th grade who don't know what "anthropo-" stands for.[/QUOTE] Hmm. So?
[QUOTE]If you're insulted that I'm not just another blob of goo without a personality and things that distinguish me from the other blobs of goo, I'm sorry, but that's your problem.[/QUOTE] But what I'm saying is that you [I]are [/I] "just another blob of goo without a personality and things that distinguish me from the other blobs of goo." Because sometimes it seems to me that the [I]only [/I] thing that distinguishes you from others is your profession, which would be sort of sad.
[QUOTE]I don't understand why anyone has a problem with my profession, or my referring to it.Oh, and this thread certainly allows me to call upon my profession.[/QUOTE]
I don't have a problem with you. Neither with your profession. It's just a thing I found curious about your posting and mentioned.
