My former student, Bobby Kuechenmeister, uses Ferris Bueller’s lesson on faking out his parents as an example to teach ethos, logos, and paths.

Hey, Dennis! Thanks for featuring my lesson using Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on your blog. I really appreciate it! I would expect Karate Kid references to be more prevalent since Cobra Kai’s been running on Netflix now.
Happy to share your work!
