This is one of my favorite things about classroom teaching. Sometimes students just miss the boat.
Teacher: So "equivocate" can be split into two Latin roots: "vocare," or "speak," and "equi," meaning --And sometimes I miss it.
Student: OH! Water!
Teacher: In the first scene, we find Oberon and Titania engaged in a power struggle with disastrous consequences, bickering endlessly over trivialities. What does this behavior remind you of?(I had meant for her to say, "Greek Mythology," but had to admit I liked her answer better.)
Student: High school!
