Test Your Halfblood Knowledge! · 11 August 04

Being a foreign novelty allows you to do fun things. For example, you can teach a class entirely on yourself, and kids will pay attention.

Last week I taught an English demonstration class to get junior high kids excited about high school. So my teaching partner and I decided to put together a slide show about my life in new york and have the kids answer questions about it.

Here it is, reproduced in it’s entirety. See if you still know me as well as a group of Japanese 13 year olds:

Where did Saleem live before he came to Japan?
a) Florida
b) Washington
c) New York
d) Mexico

Who cut Saleem’s hair?
a) His mother.
b) His brother
c) His sister
d) His fish.

How many brothers and sisters does Saleem have?
a) 0
b) one brother and one sister
c) three brothers and one sister
d) one brother and six sisters

Where is Saleem’s grandmother from?

Does Saleem’s grandmother have a pet fish OR does she have a pet cat?

Where did Saleem work?
a) a factory
b) a magazine
c) Saleem was a movie star
d) Saleem was a cowboy

Has Saleem ever been to California?

What did Saleem’s friends do at (his going away) party?
a) Dance and sing.
b) Play pachinko.
c) Eat pizza.
d) Study.

Bonus Questions:
What color is Saleem’s grandma’s pet?

Name one person Saleem went to California with.

  1. This test has become remarkably difficult. I unlike your students, have not had the opportunity to see the slide show you’ve prepared. Nevertheless, I felt the questions must be answered!

    New York
    His sister
    three brothers and one sister
    Japan
    pet cat ( which has probably eaten your fish since you’ve been away!)
    A magazine
    Yes
    Play Pachinko ( what is this? )
    Black and white
    Homeboy!
