LOTR grades
Check this out!
My mum, who's an English teacher and major LOTR fan, thought this up: from now on, she'll give the kids LOTR names instead of grades. Each name corresponds, of course, with a certain grade, as follows:
1- Sauron
2- Wormtongue
3- Gollum
4- Saruman
5- Boromir
6- Pippin
7- Bilbo
8- Merry/Eowyn
9- Gimli/ Legolas
10- Aragorn, Sam, Frodo, Faramir, Arwen
10 + (outstanding achievements): Gandalf/ Galadriel.
Now - where you see more than one name for the same grade, it depends on the kid's personality. For instance: 10 - if he's earned the ten through hard work - then he's a Frodo; if he/she finds it only natural to get a ten, then she gets Arwen, he gets Aragorn.
What do you think - comments and changes are welcome! Also, if you ask me why a character got a certain grade, I'll explain my opinion, and we'll discuss it.
