Mrs. Mortimer then told us our first assignment. “Teach the class something you know. The students (your peers) will individually Grade your overall achievement.”
The only thing I could think of was making carrot juice with my Juicer. I dragged my Juicer to school. It was heavy and awkard. And the acoustics engineered for high quality made it a nitemare. And since we were in a huge auditorium with rows of seating I knew immeadiatly I brought a wrong thing to bring to school.
It was so LOUD in the auditorium . No one could hear me. The screaming juicer got every one laughing.
Once the Juicer of carrot juice was full a student voluntered to help me pass the juice around to my classmates. The reviews: Where half the class laughing. Another half passing around the juice. And others were saying the juice was good. But everyone agreed it was too LOUD to hear you. Others said it was a “Good Presentation.”
However, there were two student presentation’s that I will never forget.
One was an Old Hippie. She brought down the screen on the stage. She told us that she was a Ghost Hunter. Her slides were dark and scary. Her audio of her encounters with Ghosts made us all feel “Someone is walking over my grave”
The other was a quiet woman probably in her 40’s who came up onto the stage with nothing.
She was the last speaker of the day. She started to talk about Parrots.
Suddenly she stops talking and starts to open her closed jacket. And inside on her shoulder was her Parrot!! It had sat on her shoulder inside her jacket during all the presentations.
She said the Parrot was ill. She had been pulling out it’s feathers. She explained why and the Parrot never spoke and did not leave her shoulder. She got massive applause from all the other students!! I was enjoying school and reqretted so much that I had never attended before.
When I was young and lived with my parents my mother used to tell me I was just a renter. My father used to tell me women just get married so why waste and education on a housewife.
Was that their thinking or societies in the 1960’s.
