We are discussing personality styles. Today students were reading over full-page descriptions of their personality styles based on the Myers Briggs test. The page was broken up into various sections. One of these sections was titled Potential Pitfalls.
So, I asked: What does potential mean?
Student 1: When you have the ability to do something, but you don't actually do it.
I had to clean up some slightly misinterpreted parent/teacher conference lingo for them...
Then I asked: What does pitfall mean? Well, besides an old Atari game?
Student 2: It's a fall you pit into!
Close. So close.
