This week one of our 5th grade vocabulary words was legal. I always start the week by introducing the words with their definitions and then give a couple of examples. From there, I ask the students to come up with their own examples. One student brought up that people had the right to bare arms, therefore it was legal to bear arms. I was quite impressed with this example and with the way the discussion went from there, I knew that they would remember it. Well I was very right.
On Friday, I give the students a vocabulary test to see if they really know the words or not. Well, of course legal was on the test. I always pick 5 of the vocabulary words for them to write their own sentence about it. Here is the sentence that one student wrote for legal.
"Having bear arms is legal."
Well, maybe it is legal to have bear arms, but until someone actually does then we will never know.
