Sure Thing

Introduced the play/drama genre to students this week as FUN and had to crack my head to find a suitable play that appeals to them, all 104 Generation Y.  "Sure Thing" by Ives looked promising. Short, contains words and context that students can relate to, and funny. It contains the much dreaded four-letter word though. One word, one time, by one character.  The taboo weighed against getting students interested and excited about the whole semester, I made my decision.

The response was queer and amusing.  Despite being young, careless, and out-spoken, they censored the word during reading aloud and dramatization activities, at least my class of 26 did.  So, our Generation Y still have some modesty after all, at times when I have lost some confidence in decency and respect.
