This week, as part of the pretest, I put a picture this of Fidel Castro up and asked, "Who is this?"
In one class, two guys in the front blurted the answer out (in a "duh" tone; I think they thought I was really wondering who was in the picture!), so that class found out the answer quickly.
Out of my other two classes, about 50% correctly identified the man in the picture as Fidel Castro (not all spelled it the same way - there were a few "Kastro" and some "Feedels" and a "Phedel" that I decided to count as sorta correct).
