We're working on a neighborhood unit, and the students are coming up with characters who they will use to interact with each other. Some students are doctors, some are police officers and there's a surprising number of bakers.
Michael was having a really hard time coming with a name for his character. After I told him that "Red Lightning" was more of a superhero name, he gazed thoughtfully out the windows for an extended period of time. When I finally came back to him, he looked up at me and asserted, "My character's name is Tree Branch". I looked over my shoulder out the window, and sure enough, there was a tree branch waving in the wind.
I don't think I've ever had such a "Calvin and Hobbes" / "Anchorman" moment.
(For those of you who need the pop culture reference, here's the Anchorman clip)
