I tried to teach my students about Friday the 13th. They didn't seem to understand "bad luck". I don't think I activated their schemata very well. They just shouted "Jason"! Great. Thanks Hollywood.
Perhaps I should have started off with something like the number "42" - which is bad luck here in Japan. The number four - "shi" is also the same pronuciation for the character that means death. Oh well.
I think they liked my props anyhow.
