Stuff my students write

In a pop quiz, I asked the students to summarize the plot of the Second Shepherd's Play in no more than two sentences. Here's some corkers:

--Two shepherds have their goat stolen ...

--3 shephards are traveling and one of their sheep is stolen by an evil sheep herder. They go on a quest/journey to find the missing sheep & meet new characters & discover new themes & ideas on their journey.

--Kurt Russell in a Ford White Bronco speeding down the highway towards the Canadian border with the highway patrol from 9 different states on his tail and his love on the line.

--The first shepherd was so bad at his job that a second shepherd was hired to replace him. Then the second shepherd wrote a play recounting his experience as a shepherd in the second degree.

--The second shepherd's play is about religion in a different time.
