Filopodium
Filopodium:
a long, hairlike pseudopod composed of ectoplasm.
I had to look it up, I couldn't handle it! Good idea!

"in" and "on"
I figured I would check and see if anyone had posted anything new on our blog, but no one has!!
I have a question for anyone... I have asked several people, but everyone replies the same way: "Ooo that is hard to explain". I even spoke with Kyra about it!! Can anyone think of a simple way to explain the difference between "in" and "on" and the proper usage of each? Kyra said there is a list of verbs somewhere in existence that show proper usage of each. She said if we could find the list that it would make a fantastic tip sheet for our ESL students. Otherwise, she said it is something that students just have to memorize. Anyone have any tips on how to help students understand the difference between the two?
