Abstract

My tenth grade science class was starting a unit on the "Ever Changing Earth."

Students provided the expected answers ranging from hide under a desk, to stand in the doorway, to run outside. However, one student replied, "I would head to the mall." "The mall?", I asked. David replied, "Yeah, I would break into the jewelry store and make off with a load of gold." The statement caught me flat on my feet, I would have never expected this student to be thinking in this way.
