Twice a semester we call each of our student for a one on one phone conversation. We have to ask them some questions based on the recent reading units. Much more interesting are the questions we get to make up. My favorite thing to ask is what they want to be when they grow up. I get plenty of predictable responses but plenty of unexpected dreams too. I had a particularly quiet student who said she wanted to be a rock star. I looked at her a little differently the rest of the semester.
