laughable moments

Today, I had my students write a paragraph about a composer that we have studied of their choice for a quiz. The students were instructed to tell me why they chose that composer, and if given the opportunity, what questions they would ask him or her. One of my favorite responses was "I would ask Beethoven how he felt when he realized he was death." Well, I am sure that one would be tough to answer...hehe. This is just one example of how teaching makes me smile.
