I noticed that you're a teacher? I would love to teach in a classroom setting! However, I am a stay-at-home mom as of the moment so the best that I can do was apply at http://preply.com/en/skype/english-tutoring-jobs . I keep looking for jobs for ESL teacher online because I can only conduct classes via Skype. See, I have a sickly one-year old who needs constant care and supervision. <br />I envy you and the others who get to teach in school. :( I know I'll get there too. Although I'm enjoying my job at Preply, I get frustrated sometimes. <br />But as my husband always tells me : "For as long as you are helping people learn, it doesn't matter how you do it".

The second amendment does say, "bear arms." However, in one of the history classes on campus the teacher discusses how many people feel it is closer to "bare" arms. That is. People have the right to guns, but not AK47s. They have the right to "naked" weapons. Since I know that another teacher explains it this way, I would be less inclined to simply mark the sentence as incorrect.<br /><br />I hope that made more sense!

As you can see in the example, I had them think of "the right to bare arms" but use the wrong definition. Since they were thinking of a homophone, and their sentence was right, I would probably still give them the credit here, but I'd make a note so they would learn from it. <br /><br />Thanks so much for reminding me to add this part to the blog! I'll edit it right now :) Carissa Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908750269180519422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912540277702268114.post-92126845635610334252015-06-12T09:39:13.234-06:002015-06-12T09:39:13.234-06:00I love word puzzles too!
