R U Smarter'n a 5th Grader

  1. Read these 4 items first.
  2. Carefully scroll down and study the photo immediately below.
  3. Do not scroll past the image or read the text below the image.
  4. Return to this area and continue reading from here. OK, get scrolling.
Given: the most distant-appearing deer is a doe. Click to put a check mark in the square of each possibility that can be used in a sentence accurately describing something about the image below. You may refer back to the image as needed. Reading beyond the image is cheating - suit yourself.
    far side
    his left side
    it's broadside
    its right side
    along side
    head's front side
    her back side
    by the roadside
    they're inside
    their outsides
    they're outside
    on the other side
    green hillside
When you have completed your choices, scroll down to the answer key, found below the image.

Shame on you if you're peeking.

Key:

If you chose "they're inside", you failed. No, wait, that's correct. All three deer are INSIDE THE PHOTO! Well Tickle Me Elmo. Actually, all of 'em can be used in a sentence that accurately relates to some aspect of the image. If you didn't check all boxes, you should have. For example:

  • Them thar deers on the far side of that thar fence are beautious.
  • Lookit that - he's layin so's his left side is a'showin t'us.
  • It's their broadside where's it easiest to shoot them critters.
  • Its right side is its best side.
  • None of em's along side each other.
  • That little un's head's front side is a'lookin at us.
  • Her back side aint waggin its tail. (See discussion about aint in the next post.)
  • I photographed deer, by the roadside, on a backstreet in Newtown, Ohio.
  • They're inside the photograph but 2 are not in focus.
  • Their outsides git bit by them dadburn deer flies and ticks.
  • They're outside and enjoying it.
  • They are on on the other side of the fence.
  • On the green hillside, there are 3 examples of Odocoileus virginianus.
  • (The last sentence gives a nod to "The Count", my favorite Sesame Street cast member.)
