Only in UT part 2

In the book we have finished reading in my 8th grade classes, a member of a Native American tribe gets rejected from his tribe for dishonoring the tribe. I was helping my students recall this part of the story. My goal was to get them to say he was "rejected" or "outcasted." Please enjoy:

Me: What happened to the character?
Students: He got kicked out.
Me: O.k., what other terms would we use to describe when someone is kicked out from a group?
Boy student in front: Ex-communicated?

Love it.

I love it. Teaching provides the most entertainment of any career I have decided. I wish I could watch u teach sometime. Thanks for the petticoat story too. I laughed out loud...though I'm sure it was no laughing matter the day of your wedding! :)

oh your petticoat story! poor jen, but that was my mom that helped out! go mom.

Also your stories are so funny. I would like student teaching in Utah (sometimes) just so I could have these very stories.
