So yesterday I had an activity I was doing with my class where I wanted them to do a news program sketch. They were divided into teams and then each team was asked to make up some headline news stories along with two other stories from normal news categories:

Weather
Business
Entertainment
Sport

Etc.

So one group is having some trouble and they call me over.

Me: What's the problem.
Student: There is no important news right now for the headline section.
Me: No problem, I want you to be creative anyway.
Student: I don't understand.
Me: It doesn't have to be a real story, you can just invent it.
{Student gives me a pained look of uncomprehension}
Me: You can just make it up.
Student: I still don't understand.
Me: Lie.
{Student's face brightens up and a huge grin forms}
Student: Ok!

I couldn't help but chuckle over that one when I got home for the day.
