Was interested to hear about another Span teacher. Biting, critically
sarcasm is not "humor", in my opinion. However, I just used sarcasm the
other day in Spanish). My students needed to be aware that the work we
were preparing was for tomorrow's oral quiz (prueba) and we needed
everyone ready to get it all done smoothly and quickly. I pointed out
the assignment on the board and told them don't come in tomorrow
saying "Prueba, que prueba. Yo no sabia." (I didn't know we had a quiz).
It worked and it was humorous.
