the acquisition of possessive adjectives is FASCINATING!! If you ever feel like writing about what you’re finding, I’d definitely wanna read it

its very interesting/frustrating lol. so a lot of what i do with those kids is modeling during play (usually like a board game “my turn”/”your turn” kind of stuff) but the problem come in with how do you model/prompt for the correct use of “my”. like these kids totally get it when i say “your turn” or “point to your nose” but as soon as you throw the word “my” in there it becomes so confusing. If i’m prompting them to point to MY nose they’ll point to their own. and it’s quite the task to explain “well hey when someone ELSE uses ‘my’ they’re talking about themselves” when working with kids who have language disorders. A lot of these kids just say “your” for everything. 

1. Coke or Pepsi: Coke if I had to choose but ideally neither, I don’t like fizzy drinks (unless mixed with spirits)

2. Disney or Dreamworks: Dreamworks is bae, but because of sheer volume and the number of marathons I’ve had it’s gotta be Disney

3. Coffee or Tea: Teaaaa. Coffee literally tastes like death, I don’t know what you people are on.

4. Books or Movies: Books! I’m an English Lit student lol so

5. Windows or Mac: Windows (Mac is baffling)

6. DC or Marvel: Marvel all the way, although I enjoy dipping in and out of DC’s best bits.

7. Xbox or Playstation: Playstation

8. Dragon Age or Mass Effect: Never played either (cries I want to be a gamer but don’t have the time or consoles)

9. Night Owl or Early Rise: Night owl, are you kidding???

10. Cards or Chess: Cards! Mao is the best game ever. Also Ring of Fire.

11. Chocolate or Vanilla: Hmmmmmm if this is ice cream then vanilla tbh, I can’t handle chocolate flavour

12. Vans or Converse: Converse I guess although I’ve never worn either

13. Lavellan, Trevelyan, Cadash or Adaar: Never played

14. Fluff or Angst: Fluff! Please give me fluff. The worst thing about this degree is 90% of the books are fucking miserable. Although when I’m writing my own stuff I put the characters through hell so I can kinda sympathise ...

15. Beach or Forest: Forest :) There’s a wood round the corner from me. They’re so beautiful and they have secret paths and there’s no frickin sand. Although beaches on Scottish islands (see blog background) come from some heaven dimension, I won’t lie. 

16. Dogs or Cats: Cats. Fluffier!

17. Clear Skies or Rain: Clear skies - I have curly hair ...

18. Cooking or Eating Out: Cooking, I’m always quite proud of what I make and it’s usually less expensive, healthier and tastier.

19. Spicy Food or Mild Food: Mild, I’m a weakling who gets lemon and herb at Nandos. And my friends all laughed at me for asking for a glass of milk with it.

20. Halloween/Samhain or Solstice/Yule/Christmas: Christmas, because at least there’s a certainty that we’ll /do/ something for it - however, if it’s a well-organised Hallowe’en it’s tricky to say ...

21. Would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: Too cold? I can definitely handle it, I’ve gone without a coat for the last two terms.

22. If you could have a superpower, what would it be? Hmmm ... Shapeshifting. So useful, for both funsies and my self esteem.

23. Animation or Live Action: Live action.

24. Paragon or Renegade: Never played.

25. Baths or Showers: Showers, there’s less chance of something going wrong.

26. Team Cap or Team Iron Man: They’re both awesome but Cap was being a fool and no-one takes the time to understand Iron Man. Seriously stop letting him be the scape-goat, team.

27. Fantasy or Sci-Fi: Fantasy is like coming home. Sci-fi is more thrilling but I’d only curl up with The Hobbit.

28. Do you have three or four favourite quotes? If so, what are they:

“She thought it was the misfortune of poetry, to be seldom safely enjoyed by those who enjoyed it completely; and that the strong feelings which alone could estimate it truly, were the very feelings which ought to taste it but sparingly.” - Jane Austen, Persuasion

“Art is the nearest thing to life; it is a mode of amplifying experience and extending our contact with our fellow-men beyond the bounds of our personal lot.”  - George Eliot, ‘The Natural History of German Life’

“And this rigid stone your hand in mine / And the curve of the turning Earth your spine / And the swooning bees besotted with flowers your tune.” - Carol Ann Duffy, Rapture

29. YouTube or Netflix: Youtube has my loyalty, Netflix my time.

30. Harry Potter or Percy Jackson: Harry Potter. I was so ridiculously obsessed. Love it forever.

31: When You Feel Accomplished: When I finish an essay more than half an hour before the deadline?

32. Star Wars or Star Trek: Star Trek

33. Paperback Books or Hardback Books: Hardbacks but it breaks my heart when they get sullied so usually paperbacks

34. Handwriting or Typing: Handwriting

35. Velvet or Satin: ummm velvet? Not sure I’ve felt satin

36. Video Games or Movies? Films

37. Would you rather be the dragon or own the dragon? Own the dragon. Come on. Gimme some Eragorn shit.

38: Sunrise or sunset: Sunrise, because you feel like you’re the only one seeing it.

39: What’s your favourite song? Obviously an impossible question but for now I’ll go with Trusty and True by Damien Rice.

40: Horror Movies yes or no: Yesss! But not alone and no one will watch them with me :’(

41: Ketchup/tomato sauce on pasta or not? No that’s ridiculous, make puttanesca and ascend to heaven

42: Favourite film when you were a kid?: Oooh. Probably Monster’s Inc.

what's your diss on it sounds FUN

It is SUPER fun! I’m basically talking about how fans reclaim narratives and foster a more community-focussed, egalitarian model of story creation. It’s turning out slightly more like sociolinguistics than literary criticism atm, but my course is technically a langlit course and my tutor told me I’m walking the line OK, so it’s all good!
