Teacher: Sluggo---Describe an octagon. Sluggo: A figure with eight sides and eight angles. Teacher: Right. Now, Nancy---Describe a SPHERE.
Next, Nancy—define DETENTION!
That’s not describing, Nancy. That is a demonstration rather than a description.
“Describe” — “de-scribe” — “un-write” — “show”
Octagon. Should not that be eight equal sides with eight equal angles?
Sphere : One curvy side with no angles.
A practical demonstration is good!
Nice, Nancy, but I don’t think that’s what the teacher had in mind.
I would have enjoyed today’s cartoon more if Sluggo had blown an OCTAGON bubble!
And in those days, just that single act could get you sent to the Principal’s office.
P2: Irma is impressed.
Nancy is just following the advice of showing, not telling.
