Is it in good taste?
|
Hi everybody!
Have a look at this worksheet.

Is it humor? Is it an ESL resource? I wonder. Correct me if I �m wrong?

Well, there were wss on different topics here including drugs. Here is another one. 13 people need it as they downloaded it. I think for some people this will be a fun. But I �m not sure I ever use it myself. |

I personally wouldn �t use it, but I hate censorship. It is a an ESL resource, and we are not here to judge contents (as long as it isn �t offensive, of course).

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this reading activity. It has been presented in good taste and uses humour to present a subject that many might find offensive but is actually a very normal bodily function.
I am surprised that it was reported. It is an ESL Resource, you can use it or not, but just because you don�t like the topic that doesn�t mean that it should be considered a non-ESL resource. Heck, if we keep this up, people will not be able to post anything even a tad controversial like "Abortion, Euthanasia, Animal Cruelty..." because it might offend somebody�s sensitivities.

Not really related...but ...
How can you see a worksheet from the kind of link gitasiva gave. On my computer it shows up as a non-clickable (is that English?  ) link... I see this kind of link is often used also to refer or give credit to a worksheet in the description of the recent contributions and I never understood how I can �activate � those links. Is this kind of link non-clickable only on my computer or do you understand what I am talking about?  (maybe I need to copy the line and paste it into google? - seems too cumbersome..) |

There you go... a proper link...
And it has a bunch of activities to do. I am personally very surprised that because it �s about "farting" everybody is sort of upset about this. In fact, a worksheet about swear words was better received (and defended) than this one. Quite amazing, in my opinion.

I think it is different from country to country. I know in Denmark people find this hilarious!

Not sure I would use it myself, but I wouldn �t have any objection to any other teacher in our school using providing it is presented in the right way. |

Thank you for all your comments. I respect all of you. Some may call me an old windbag, but I keep on going.
Thanks again

Teacherflorida:
Merry Christmas to you too. Why a windbag? Are you a boring person who talks a great deal about uninteresting topics?
