We are reading Flowers for Algernon in class. Charlie (the main character) is subjected to many different tests including the Rorschach Inkblot Test. I thought that it would be a great idea for the students to make their own inkblots and then make up a story about what they see. Sounds great, right? I gave each student white paper, they folded it down the middle, and I went around with black paint. A few drops on the paper, they fold it back over and "rub" the paint, open and voila you have an inkblot. My first class does pretty well... the whole "rub" the paper thing was a little too much for them, as it was for my second hour class. However in second hour, one poor girl opens her paper and what to our eyes appear.... a piece of the male anatomy! Oh yes! The class was in hysterics. You would think that a real live naked person had just walked into the room. AND then... when I told them that they would have to write a story about their inkblot...again the class rolls with laughter.
Hormones... really they provide so much day to day entertainment.
