My students and I have been discussing the many reasons why it is important to read. One reason was to build a stronger vocabulary. We had a talk about it, and then they wrote a response. This student most definitely understood the significance behind that reason:
"When you develop a mature vocabulary, you know more. If someone say's you look gay today, you will know gay also means happy. Then you know not to shoot the person."
No, but seriously, he's one of my best students.
