Playing Left-Field

Today we were talking about gold mining for a little while in my classes. The students had just read an article about the environmental and health impact of a mining technique called "heap leaching."

When I asked my 7th period class, "So what is this thing called 'heap leaching?" the first student to respond answered that "heap leaching is when someone covers their entire body with leeches."
